The HeART of Christmas by Alexa Muen & Nine Elms Arts Ministry
Magical Immersive Light Experience
The magical immersive light experience that takes you to the heart of the festive season.
This festive season, art’otel London Battersea Power Station invites you to experience The HeArt of Christmas—an immersive, multi-sensory art installation and interactive exhibition that celebrates hope, renewal, and community.
Running daily from 12 PM to 8 PM, between 30th November 2024 and 4th January 2025, this unique experience will take place in the art’beat studio and is hosted by Nine Elms Arts Ministry, featuring the innovative artistry of conceptual artist Alexa Muen.
Created by conceptual artist Alexa Muen, this multi-sensory journey invites visitors to escape the festive rush and connect with art in a transformative way.
Alexa Muen, a renowned British/European artist celebrated for her innovative work in light-based multimedia art, has crafted six interconnected artworks that come together to form a cohesive and evocative journey. The installation features three mixed-media light paintings, a mesmerizing mirror assemblage, a calming soundscape, and an original seasonal perfume, all designed to explore themes of Rejoice, Reflect, Renewal, Reborn, and Release. Together, these elements create a serene and contemplative environment where visitors can pause, reflect, and connect with the season’s deeper meaning.
Beyond the installation, The HeArt of Christmas offers a rich program of free events and workshops designed to engage the local community and celebrate creativity. Adults can enjoy Christmas craft workshops led by local artists or attend exclusive “Meet the Artist – Lates“, where Alexa Muen will personally guide small groups through the installation, sharing insights into her creative process. For families, the exhibition is an inclusive space, with special activities such as the “Heart of Bethlehem” event on Christmas Eve, featuring festive storytelling, carols, and interactive crafts for children, accompanied by their parents.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience the magic of art, light, and community. The HeArt of Christmas runs from 30th November 2024 to 4th January 2025 at art’otel London Battersea Power Station, offering a space to reflect, rejoice, and reconnect this holiday season.
Admission is free, and all are welcome.
