Urban Kawaii

Urban Kawaii: Where Street Art Meets Cuteness is all about mixing playfulness with a rebellious edge—blending street culture, nostalgia, and pop art in a way that’s bold, fun, and thought-provoking. Curated by Song Inji, this exhibition is a collaboration between Gallery STAN and VIBE TWLV, featuring six incredible artists—Mawz, Bazbon, Yerin, Buwon, Conix, and Lee Hongmin.

While kawaii is often seen as purely cute and innocent, these artists take it to another level, using graffiti, cartoon-like characters, and bright, eye-catching visuals to explore identity, consumerism, and modern life. From massive murals out in front of the store to interactive installations, Urban Kawaii makes you rethink what’s playful, what’s rebellious, and where those worlds collide.
