re/JOY
Vipoo Srivilasa, a Thai-born Australian artist is working on a major new exhibition project to be presented at The Australian Design Centre in Sydney. Vipoo’s participatory art projects inspire individuals to express emotions and experiences through storytelling and clay, fostering profound self-understanding.
For re/JOY, Vipoo is looking for people who have objects and stories of their migration experience.
You are invited to be part of this project by donating a damaged ceramic object of sentimental value to be incorporated into a new work of art by Vipoo. If selected, Vipoo will craft your damaged ceramic pieces into a meaningful artwork, interweaving your personal narratives with his visual symbolism.
Seven objects will be selected and transformed into new artworks for an upcoming exhibition at the Australian Design Centre, scheduled for late 2024.
If your object is selected, you will receive a participation fee of AUD $500.
