Vipoo Srivilasa’s re/JOY is now open at Tweed Regional Gallery.
The exhibition, supported by Creative Australia and the Australian Design Centre, has been touring the regional galleries of Australia since November 2024. This project is some of Vipoo’s largest works to-date, with seven ceramic sculptures towering at 1.5 metres high. Each piece has been carefully made by repurposing broken fragments of pottery, from members of the community who have experienced migration to Australia. The exhibition captures the diversity of experiences in Australia, and symbolises a careful rebuilding of life, highlighting the complex feelings and challenges that come with change. re/JOY is a joyful, playful and hopeful project.
Vipoo Srivilasa’s ‘re/JOY’ is open at Tweed Regional Gallery 15 November 2025 - 8 February 2026. The opening event is on Friday 14 November 6pm.
