Silent Seeds is the winter edition of the Gardens of Life exhibition cycle, taking place in London (January–February 2026). We invite artists working across all visual media to submit works exploring hidden life, stillness, dormancy, and renewal.

🌱 Silent Seeds – Winter Exhibition 2026

The winter edition of the Gardens of Life cycle will take place in London, 17–30 January 2026, at the POSK Gallery (Hammersmith).

❄️ Silent Seeds explores the hidden life of winter – the quiet time when seeds rest beneath the frozen earth, carrying within them the silent promise of renewal.

The exhibition invites works that reflect on stillness, dormancy, and waiting, but also on hope, resilience and unseen growth.

Artists are encouraged to interpret this theme broadly – from the delicate poetics of nature’s cycles, through personal or collective experiences of pause and transformation, to metaphors of silence and survival.

🌿 Our Mission

Gardens of Life is not just an exhibition – it is a movement of empathy, presence and artistic dialogue.

Every edition celebrates art’s ability to connect people, to bring quiet seeds of reflection into the wider world.

We believe that by planting these seeds together, we grow a garden that no single artist could create alone.
