For MAHA Pavilion at the Bangkok Biennial 2020, Jalichandra-Sakuntabhai paired artists in the West with performance artists in Bangkok who enacted their score across various sites in the city. Tactics of Erasure and Rewriting Histories, at Craft Contemporary in 2022 and ReflectSpace Gallery in the Glendale Central Library in 2023, features artists with marginalized identities working with erasure methods to counter official narratives of history. The New Commons, for Prospect Art Curatorial Fellowship, is a series of online screenings, virtual live collaborations and discussions around the imaginaries of the homeland as they are shaped by digital communication technologies.

Their works have appeared in publications, such as Hyperallergic, Carla, Artillery Magazine and the Performance Art Journal and Thai online media, such as the101.world and [BOOKMARK MAGAZINE], an initiative of BANGKOK CITY CITY GALLERY.
