The KAKAO PROJECT features  unique collaboration between Kakao Origin, a purveyor of specialty chocolate drinks, and Malaysian visual artists. Supported by Taksu Galleries and Chocolate Concierge, the Kakao Project sees  the transformation of Malaysian artists Dani Omar's and Yoss Yusoff actual artworks combined to celebrate the purity of Malaysian single-origin chocolate and the rich cultural landscape of Malaysian art.
