Down to Dumpling? A Workshop with Snack Witch Joni Cheung

May 24, 2025

Workshop with Main Gallery artist Snack Witch Joni Cheung
Saturday, May 24th, 1-3pm
In-person, EE Studio, 72 Harbour Drive

Down to Dumpling? is a call and response project sustained through exchanging hand folded, edible goodies. It started during the global pandemic as a desire for Cheung to enact their family’s Sunday morning ritual of going to 飲茶 yum cha and ordering mountains of 點心 dim sum. 

Inspired by a memory of her folding 燒賣 siu mai and  雲吞 wonton with their dad, this lonely activity became a way for them to reach out to and care for loved ones and strangers from afar. Isolation provided room to percolate on thoughts around home(making), diasporic experiences, and familial relations in material+intangible realms. Continuing on through this collective time, the artist hopes to nurture acts of sharing space, stories, energy, and food—together.

Please note: The artist will be providing veggie filling for dumplings!
