Three artist-designers from Taiwan and South Korea, a collective called Red Bean Paste(RBP) share their story pieces, workshops, and real snacks. Explore their unique perspectives and creative expressions, and perhaps find inspiration in their journeys.

Take a moment to savor the sweetness of life. Join us for a delightful interlude and experience the joy of late night snacks. Discover the delectable flavors and textures of East-Asian treats that satisfy both your palate and your soul.

Tea Food Workshop "My Sweet Little Monster"

Start your morning with us for a delightful journey into the world of sweet shapes and colors, where your imagination comes to life as a sweet little monster!

RBP invites you to join two exciting dessert-making workshops. Release your creativity and learn sculpting techniques to craft your very own monster. RBP will provide a selection of pre-made body components as a starting point for your creation.

About "Red Bean Paste"

Red Bean Paste(RBP) is a collective gathered to craft dreams and share stories through sensory landscapes. The name "Red Bean Paste" draws inspiration from the rich tradition of red beans used in East Asian countries to create a wide array of delectable sweets, soups, and drinks. This simple ingredient symbolizes the diverse possibilities and loving energy found in the collective's work.


Within this collective, three visionary artist-designers collaborate to weave intricate tales and explore the boundaries of art and culture:

Yesum Yoon breathes life into objects of various scales and creature-like forms, weaving them together to create a captivating visual storytelling of her imaginary landscape.

Shin Yang, a Taiwanese artist, is at the heart of the critical examination of cultural identity, decolonization, and geo-politics.

ShiSoH is an artist and a designer who delves into the intricacies of daily life and the underlying social mechanisms that shape our world.

Together, these three individuals infuse their work with their unique perspectives, drawing from shared cultural backgrounds and a belief in the power of storytelling.
