Welcome the SoulScapes Healing Arts Residents

We are delighted to welcome this year’s diverse and inspiring group of artists, practitioners, and healers to the SoulScapes the Healing Arts Residency. These artists bring deeply embodied practices that connect art, movement, psychology, and sensory experience—each contributing to the unfolding exploration of healing, identity, and transformation.

Nitipat Pholchai (Ong)

A Thai dance artist, educator, and community facilitator, Ong is the founder of Spine Party Movement. Renowned for his work in Contact Improvisation and decolonial performance practice, Ong engages queer, blind, and neurodiverse communities across Asia. His projects—such as Blind Together! and Confessions of Queer Uncles—prioritize embodied inclusion, playful intimacy, and collective grassroots wisdom. Through dance, Ong offers spaces of connection, care, and shared agency.

Sophol Tabklong (Toffee)

A blind multidisciplinary artist with a profound passion for art and dance, Toffee brings a unique, embodied approach to movement. Through tactile awareness and spatial intuition, he transforms sensation into expressive works that transcend visual boundaries. His practice challenges normative perceptions, showing how the body becomes both the canvas and the creator, inviting us to experience art through new sensory dimensions.

Fai

Fai invites fellow artists and illustrators to join a semi-improvised performance—a ritual of drawing, painting, and embodied storytelling. This piece invites audiences as witnesses on a journey into the feminine essence that lives within all beings, regardless of gender. Drawing from healing circles, shared stories, and personal reflection, Fai weaves narratives through phases of the feminine: the weak, the dark, and the balanced. Her work holds space for introspection, release, and rebirth.

Zign Tuncharoen

A multi-sensory artist working at the intersection of scent, color, and memory, Zign creates immersive works that engage more than just the eye. By crafting natural pigments from organic materials and infusing scent into her pieces, she invites audiences into a visceral dialogue with nature. Her work offers a quiet, lingering intimacy—where scent becomes story, and color becomes a portal into feeling.

Mukta

A seasoned yoga teacher and sound healing practitioner, Mukta has dedicated the past eight years to guiding others through the interconnectedness of body, breath, and mindfulness. She believes that sound brings naturalness to meditation, creating space for harmony and stillness. Through her sessions, Mukta offers the practice of “sending love through sound,” a gentle and profound path to inner peace, self-awareness, and spiritual healing.

Thitipat Ruamsap (Dome)

A psychologist and art psychotherapist, Dome is grounded in a psychodynamic approach to healing. He works with children, adolescents, and adults across settings—from schools to psychiatric hospitals—believing that art is a key to the unconscious. Dome’s therapeutic practice blends deep psychological insight with creative expression, offering pathways for individuals to access their inner world, confront emotional truths, and begin the journey of transformation.

These powerful voices and practices will come together at Studio 88 to nurture a community of care, creativity, and conscious healing. Their residency focuses on sharing sessions, workshops and collaborative rituals happening throughout the SoulScapes Residency.
