MASAK MASAK BY TMMW

This is our turn to become the artists for The Artground

The Artground is a space where artists create play spaces for children through art and design.

After seven interactions where we worked with artists to bring their vision to fruition (both indoors and outdoor), we stepped into the shoes of the artists and producer in its tenth iteration.

Playing with (local) food just got messier and larger

Why is it that when children play with food, it’s usually with international foods like burgers and sushi?

We wanted a space that gave children their first introduction to local delights through play and created the messy world of Mask Mask where children climb on a spilled bowl of chendol, hop on an egg tart trampoline and slide down a melting ice cream.

The textures, colours and prints of Masak Masak were handmade and translated into the various local foods and snacks within the playground.
