kiki/bouba (kee-kee / boo-ba)
A one-day pop-up art exhibit at Sterling St. Brewery in Clinton! Join us as we showcase artworks from local artists that explore the kiki/bouba effect.
The kiki/bouba effect, or the takete–maluma phenomenon, is a mental association between the words kiki and bouba and types of shapes. It is a form of sound/visual synesthesia experienced by people from varying cultures around the world. In this phenomena, the word kiki is often associated with spiked and pointed shapes whereas the nonsense word bouba is associated with rounded, soft shapes.
Join us on Friday, August 29, 2025 from 12pm-9pm at Sterling St. Brewery in Clinton!
We are encouraging artists to stop by between 5-8pm to engage with the public in an artists reception.
Together, the artists & the public will explore, laugh, and embrace the synesthetic world of kiki/bouba through this exhibition!
