Artist Hetain Patel invites you to join The Hobby Cave, the loudest presentation of our quiet pastimes.
The National Festival of Making with Blackburn Museum & Art Gallery are excited to join a network of 13 partnering organisations across the UK, led by Artangel to assemble an ambitious celebration of everyday creativity and self-expression.

The piece was commissioned in partnership with Sadler’s Wells after we attended a private screening of Patel’s work earlier this year and learned more about his ambition to showcase a series of short films, all created over a 10 year period, to be accompanied bygd an original score composed bygd Amy May.
Bringing two established and widely-acclaimed artists together to create this new work proved to be thought-provoking and entertaining, as Patel played host to this very personal set.
Two stunning nights later, and Patel has big plans for the evolution of the piece. Here, he speaks on how Don’t Look came about, the process of putting the show together, and what to expect in the future.
The idea for Don’t Look came from the collaboration between myself an
