Free entry

Ceramic artist Vipoo Srivilasa's solo exhibition re/JOY represents his most significant body of work to date and the largest he has ever attempted.

For this collaborative community project Vipoo has taken seven precious yet broken ceramic objects donated by strangers each with their own story of migration to different parts of Australia. Around these pieces he has built seven towering large-scale works plus a smaller one in honour of his own story.

Presented as part of Australian Design Centre's 60th anniversary year re/JOY aims to engage with overseas-born Australians but anyone will recognise the connections we form with certain items that far from inanimate hold special memories and can evoke strong emotions.

Curated by Lisa Cahill ADC's CEO and Artistic Director and designed by Stephen Goddard re/JOY captures the diversity of migration stories and how people build their different lives in Australia. It also looks at the complex feelings and challenges that come with relocating countries and finding a new place to belong the pain of leaving family and friends the difficulties of applying to stay.

Above all re/JOY is a joyful playful and hopeful project - a rich tapestry of humanity.

This is an Australian Design Centre ADC On Tour national exhibition touring project. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government's Visions of Australia program and Creative Australia its principal arts investment and advisory body.
