Jakkai Siributr

Born in 1969 and based in Bangkok, Siributr employs various manual textile and sewing techniques, such as weaving and embroidery, in his artworks to enhance people’s awareness of socio-political agenda, including the religious conflicts in South Thailand and the harsh working conditions of garment factory labourers in Southeast Asian countries. Recently, he has conducted workshops and realised collaborative works with ethnic minority groups in South Thailand so that their voices can be heard.
Siributr participated in important international exhibitions including Phantoms of Asia: Contemporary Awakens the Past at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, U.S.A (2012), Bangkok Art Biennale (2018) and the 9th Asia Pacific Triennale of Contemporary Art at the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia (2018).
