For this collaborative community project, Vipoo Srivilasa has taken seven, precious yet broken, ceramic objects donated by strangers, each with their own story of migration to different parts of Australia.
Incorporating these pieces he has built seven towering, large-scale sculptures, plus a smaller one in honour of his own story.
Presented as part of the Australian Design Centre’s 60th anniversary celebrations, re/JOY aims to engage with overseas-born Australians, but anyone will recognise the connections we form with objects 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 different lives in Australia.
