YDP

10:15–13:00

Free event 15 spots available To sign up, please email hello@ydp.co with a few words about why you wish to participate.

Join us for a contemplative workshop led by craftivist Sarah P Corbett to spend time with the exhibition Harit Srikhao: Cave Stories 0 and the gentle power of hand-embroidery to untangle stories and explore nuances needed for real social change. You will create a unique object to take home using your head, hands and heart together.

Inspired by Srikhao’s work that listens to unheard voices, this event offers an intimate space of mindfulness, introspection and empathy with fifteen participants around one table.

No prior craft skills are required, just an open heart. All workshop equipment and materials will be provided.

Refreshments will also be available.

Suitable for adults and 15+. If you’d like to bring younger participants, please email us to check if the workshop is suitable for them.

About Harit Srikhao: Cave Stories 0

Cave Stories 0 is the first public iteration of an evolving body of work, shaped by a story Srikhao has hold on to since 2018 and developed during his recent residency at YDP. Drawing on local folktales and psychological studies, the exhibition invites visitors into an inner landscape woven from photography, moving image, drawing and puppetry.

The project begins with the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue in Northern Thailand. Beneath the official narrative of the rescue as a national triumph, some quieter voices remained unheard. Following the journey of one of the rescued young footballers to the UK, and his tragic death in 2023, Srikhao reflects on the weight that stories of miracles could not hold.

Cave Stories 0 attends to silences, residues and fractures. In this space, fragments diverge and reconverge, endings are held in suspension, and everyone might be able to begin again, differently.
