Exploring storytelling through traditional Bangladeshi embroidery in a special event for families.
Threads of Tales is a British Council–funded collaboration between Bok Bok Books and HerStory Foundation Bangladesh.
The project explores traditional Nakshi Kantha embroidery as a storytelling medium, using Nakshi Kantha motifs to retell Bengali folklore and children’s stories.
As part of the project, HerStory has created a unique embroidered storytelling prompt—a beautiful, tactile object that invites interaction.
Threads of Tales is a morning of intergenerational and cross-cultural storytelling for families. We invite you to learn the traditional Bangladeshi embroidery technique that transforms cloth into narrative.
The event includes two artist-led sessions using textiles as prompts for shared storytelling.
