Obang

  • Family and kids
  • Workshop

Obang is a performative installation space designed for babies aged 6 to 18 months along with their care-givers, and is inspired by the traditional Korean concept of Obang. In this work, Obang refers to five primary colours and explores the spatial meaning of home.

You are invited to a Korean grandmother’s home for a meal. Together you will experience her daily life, including cooking, washing and singing.

Obang is a joyful and interactive experience featuring puppetry, story-telling and free-play in an immersive environment.

Artists: Youbi Lee, Yee Wen Soo, Bronwyn Pringle, Shannan Lim and Tim Andrews
