This is an experimental bake sale series hosted by Eri Shoji (@butsubutsu) held at Bungee Space in 2025, designed to explore how value systems function in everyday life of modern times.
Each series will be unique and held irregularly. The snack will be composed based on seasonality and availability, and prepared by Eri on the morning of the sale. In celebration of the launch, a special tea menu will be offered.

1st happening, Friday, April 4th, 2025, 2-5pm or until sold out At this bake sale, Eri asks guests to determine the price of each snack using “pay what you think it’s worth” model, either in monetary or barter value. Accepted forms of payment include cash, venmo, and bartering with goods, skills or favors. According to the Asian solar calendar, the series launches on 清明 (Bright and Clear), April 4th - a time when the air remains crisp and fresh, yet the sun sits slightly higher, casting a warmer glow. Let’s embrace it together. |
