Kudos acknowledges and pays respect to the Gadigal and Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. They are the traditional custodians of the land Kudos operates on. We create, design, share, and exchange our work and knowledge on this important meeting place. We pay our respects to elders past and present and extend that respect to any First Nations people who engage with Kudos. This is and always will be Aboriginal land.
| Sirinya Stuebe is an emerging Thai-Australian artist based on Dharug, Gundungurra and Gadigal lands. Primarily working with sculptural forms, her practice often comes back to found materials, including objects, recycled fabrics, language, and most recently sound, using these materials to reframe how we engage with our everyday lives and identities. Interactive installation is a key element in her work, exploring the audience as inherent to the artwork, whether this is through sensory, textual or interactive experiences. @siri_stweeby_art |
| Teach a Girl to Fish |
‘Teach a Girl to Fish’ (2026), mixed print, watercolour, wood, ribbon, cotton yarn. Approx 1.2m x 1.2m External perceptions of cultural difference can define and affirm our understanding of our identity. ‘Teach a Girl to Fish’ combines tangible and intangible cultural elements of a Thai-Australian experience, with anecdotal quotes written in distorted English, imagery of different fish found throughout Thai culture, and traditional folded ‘blah tahpian’. The audience is challenged to read the distorted text, closing the distance between perceived and experienced identity. This work asks us to consider how cultural understanding is not inherent – it is something that is taught and absorbed through social interaction and reaction. |
