Being Nature 2026

Exhibitions and Public Programme across Holland Park and Parliament Hill

Being Nature returns in 2026 as a seasonal exhibition programme unfolding across Holland Park and expanding to Parliament Hill.

Curated by Justin Hibbs and developed in collaboration with artist Alan McFetridge, the programme activates café spaces and surrounding parkland as sites of ecological attention and public encounter.

Alongside the exhibitions, Sensing Earth runs as a parallel strand of artist and scholar-led workshops shaped and led by McFetridge. Together they form a sustained cultural engagement with London’s living landscape.
