DON’T MISS OUT ON A SNACKTASTIC NIGHT!

GRAND OPENING on the eve of 清明節 Qingming Festival,

Adult Sweetness is a love letter, invitation, gesture of remembrance, and an offering to Cheung’s ancestors—past and future...

💌💜💙💗💛💚🧡

Munch, crunch, and chewewew on a body of work that’s

SWEET, TART, SALTY, BITTER, UMAMI

Freshly squeezed from experiences of a Hong Kong-Chinese diasporic child growing up tirelessly grasping at their language ∴ culture.

Nothing quite tastes like slowly distilled homesickness. ⚗️

😿 Be there or be sNaCkLeSs!!!!! 😿

🍵🌶️🥭🍲🥟🥘🍦🍰🍍

🔮 Snack Witch Joni Cheung 🍡 is a grateful, uninvited guest born—and knows she wants to die—on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, Stó:lō, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh peoples. They are hopefully going to be finished toiling over their MFA on the stolen lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka peoples to become a Certified Sculpture Witch at Concordia University. She holds a BFA with Distinction in Visual Art (2018) from the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University. A wicked ✨ eating art + making snacks⁠, their interdisciplinary practice investigates the relationship between objects↔place↔identity, navigating discourses of transnationalism, migration, and diasporas, always with humour, and sometimes with food. 😉

Aside from researching/art-making/imagining/writing/teaching/dreaming, Joni likes doing snack and beverage reviews, medium length walks at the beach, being wrapped into a blanket burrito 🌯 & cinnamon bun 🥐, and her perfect first date involves a thorough walkthrough at multiple grocery stores + Costco, bubble tea, and breads + pastries 🌈.
