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. re/JOY aims to engage with overseas-born Australians, but anyone will recognise the connections we form with objects that hold special memories and can evoke strong emotions.

re/JOY is an Australian Design Centre exhibition, curated by Lisa Cahill toured nationally by ADC on Tour with additional support from NETS Victoria. 
 
This project been assisted by the Australian Government’s Visions of Australia program and Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
