The Scent of Babylon at St John’s Hyde Park

On 18 June, St John’s Hyde Park will host The Scent of Babylon, a one-night-only immersive exhibition combining visual art, scent, live performance and moving image. Created by artist Anna Kiparis in collaboration with photographer Andy Go and curated by Alexandra Dolgosheina, the project transforms a Gothic church into a striking multi-sensory environment.

Exploring female identity through the contrasting Biblical figures of the Virgin Mary and the Whore of Babylon, the exhibition brings together thirteen works inspired by mythology, symbolism and cultural narratives. The result is a thought-provoking reflection on the complexities of womanhood beyond historical stereotypes.
