Jakkai Siributr exhibition

 

Exhibition view: Jakkai Siributr: Everybody Wanna Be Happy, CHAT (Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile), Hong Kong, 2023

 

If you are in Hong Kong you’ll be able to visit a retrospective of one of my favourite textile artists. Jakkai Siributr: Everybody Wanna Be Happy is currently exhibiting at the Centre for Heritage Arts & Textile.

Covering work from over two decades, it shows the diverse range of his work both aesthetically and conceptually. Tackling themes of Buddhism in his native Thailand, political issues, materialism and more recently the role of family, this exhibition gives pause for thought through exquisite pieces of textile art.

 

Jakkai Siributr: Everybody Wanna Be Happy is on show until 13th February 2024. To find out more visit https://www.mill6chat.org/
