2025 LONDON CRAFT WEEK YI CRAFTS EXHIBITION

Living Spirits: Bai Craft and the Art of Nature

As part of London Craft Week, our first exhibition in the UK, celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Bai people, an ethnic minority from southwest China.
The Bai people of Dali, located in the Yunnan province of China, honour nature as sacred. This exhibition draws on the Bai people's traditional 三坊一照壁 (Three Memorial Archways and One Screen Wall) architecture, reflecting their mountain lifestyle and spiritual practices.
Through embroidery, indigo textiles, traditional clothing, ceramics, Dali dreamstone, silver and woodwork, it explores how the Bai weave spirituality into nature's essence.

Exhibition Dates: 9th - 18th May
Location: Cromwell Place, South Kensington, London
