Turn Your Space Into a Living Archive of Myths from Around the World

Karatasi Studio creates participatory self-led storytelling experiences that bring myths, legends, and folktales into everyday spaces where people sit, pause, wait, and rest.

Our work transforms shared spaces into environments of curiosity, reflection, and discovery.

Visitors interact with stories through artefacts, explore narratives through books, and participate through creative prompts, soundscapes, and storytelling activities. These experiences are reflective, playful, and meaningful, offering moments that inspire imagination, creativity, and cultural learning.
