Make your own Rainbow Stag | South Brisbane

Kids can create their own animated Rainbow Stag at the Gallery of Modern Art from 25 Nov 2023 – 28 Apr 2024.

Artist Jakkai Siributr creates installations of sewn and embroidered fabrics that explore historical events and life in Thailand. As a young boy, Jakkai’s mother would read him stories based on the Jataka Tales – sacred Buddhist writings – to teach him about compassion, kindness and tolerance. For this project, one of Jakkai’s favourite stories, The Rainbow Stag, is brought to life in an animation narrated by the artist and featuring his version of this magnificent creature.

As part of the exhibition, children can watch their own version of the Rainbow Stag come to life by decorating a template and scanning the image. Children can also see their Rainbow Stag design appear as a lifesize stag via a projection in the space.
