In its 60th anniversary year, Australian Design Centre (ADC) is delighted to present re/JOY from 21 November 2024 to 29 January 2025, a major exhibition by Thai-born Australian artist Vipoo Srivilasa. re/JOY honours and celebrates the multi-layered personal migration  stories of people from all over the world who, like Vipoo, have made Australia their home. 
In 2023, the award-winning ceramic artist issued a public call-out for donations of broken  ceramic objects that held significant meaning for their owners, and for their stories explaining why. From the responses Vipoo chose seven pieces and stories that resonated with him to  base his striking new 1.5-metre-tall ceramic sculptures on. These included a teapot made in  Korea, a terracotta tile from India, and a clay sculpture from Mexico, all damaged in some  way yet still precious. Vipoo has also made an eighth sculpture referencing his own  experiences moving from Thailand to Australia, based around a button from his grandfather that holds strong family connections.   re/JOY is a collaborative, community-driven project designed to engage with overseas-born  Australians.
