Jakkai Siributr There's no Place

The Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester
15 November 2024 - 16 March 2025

Building on the Whitworth's long history of radical global textile exhibitions, There's no Place is a significant new exhibition by acclaimed Thai artist Jakkai Siributr, offering visitors an intimate and breathtaking look at one of Southeast Asia's leading contemporary artists on his first UK exhibition.

The Whitworth's new Project Space will house a host of works that span the major themes in Siributr's practice. Moving between the Thailand's political and social histories, personal stories of grief and remembrance and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this space will allow viewers to both view and interact with the artist's intricate, monumental and dynamic work.

Siributr will also transform one of the Whitworth's core collection galleries into the latest iteration of his long-term project There's no Place. Exploring ideas of home and belonging, this collaborative embroidery piece creates an ongoing dialogue between the artist, the community of Koung Jor Shan Refugee Camp and viewers around the world.
