Jakkai Siributr: There's No Place

Victoria & Albert Museum, London

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

Situated within The Globe at the Victoria and Albert Museum South Kensington, 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. 

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.
