The Garden Within cultivates peace and care via material forms at Mia Karlova Galerie

In the heart of Amsterdam, Mia Karlova Galerie's latest exhibition, The Garden Within, presents a selection of works rooted in tactile materials and intimate gestures. The show leans into slowness and emotional presence, suggesting that solitude, approached deliberately, can act as a subtle form of resistance to the pace and pressures of contemporary life. Running from May 28 – July 31, 2025, the art and design exhibition gathers the work of seven visual artists and contemporary designers—Femke van Gemert, Anastasia Pribelskaya, Jesse Visser, Anna Kunst, Valeriya Isyak, Vadim Kibardin and Valery Pchelin—offering a portal to an 'inner garden' where repair, reflection and renewal take root.
