There’s no Place Embroidery Workshop #4
Jakkai Siributr
led by Raluca Vlad
Tuesday, May 19, 2026, 6–7:30pm
We invite you to join us for the fourth and final There’s no Place embroidery workshop on Tuesday, May 19.
There’s no Place is the collective embroidery installation suspended across the ceiling and windows along Wooster Street side of Canal Projects. The project began in 2019, when Jakkai Siributr commissioned embroidered panels from displaced Shan youths living in Thailand’s Koung Jor Shan Refugee Camp, prompting them to reflect on home, identity, daily life, and future aspirations.
The There’s no Place embroidery workshops invite New Yorkers to contribute to the original panels, activating a cross-border, multigenerational dialogue through collective sewing. The panels our New York community has worked on since February will be added to the installation during its next presentation, continuing There’s no Place as a cumulative and communal embroidered archive of storytelling.
Workshops will run approximately 1.5 hours long and will include a brief introduction to embroidery, followed by time for each participant to embroider their own small panel. All experience levels are welcome and no prior knowledge of embroidery is required.
Come join us for an evening of embroidery, conversation and connection, led by local artist Raluca Vlad.
