Jakkai Siributr: There’s No Place

Victoria and Albert Museum presents with The Royal Thai Embassy, London, as part of London Design Festival 2025, Jakkai Siributr's textile installation There's No Place, exploring concepts of identity, belonging, and home, inspired by his personal attempt to reckon with the ongoing refugee situation on the Thai-Burma border.  

The long-term collaborative embroidery project creates cross-border dialogues between the displaced ethnic Shan communities at Thailand's Koung Jor Shan Refugee Camp and viewers around the world. Participants of Siributr's workshops had been invited to touch, reflect on these pieces and embroider their responses, blurring definitions of a citizen and a refugee

The soundscape, specially made for the festival, is composed of field recordings in sites where these young refugees live. It is an edit of their expressions on hopes and dreams for the future.   

Throughout the exhibition period, visitors will also have the opportunity to engage directly with the artist through interactive workshops and activities, offering rare insight into his creative process and artistic journey.

Supported by the Royal Thai Embassy, London, on the occasion of the 170th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between Thailand and the United Kingdom.  

Additional support from Flowers Gallery.
