Brewing Art For Good: The Bearista Project @ Starbucks Malaysia

My brother and I were thrilled to see Starbucks Malaysia celebrate the Grand Finale of the initiative, Brewing Art For Good: The Bearista Project, which is a successful program, and they are proud to have collaborated with a variety of creative and talented artists who each have their own unique story and art. Every Bearista has its own distinct art and story. The event occurred on February 22, 2024 at Pavillion Bukit Jalil. 

Absolutely, I am delighted to see my teacher, who is the Interpreter for this event, and it is wonderful to see a few Deaf friends as well. Without a doubt, we are proud to see the Deaf team perform their Deafbeat performance on stage.

Kick off by enjoying a DeafBeat performance, learning basic Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia (BIM), and indulging and smelling and tasting the aromas of coffee and cookies.. It's great to see that they indirectly raise awareness about Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia, and hopefully, it will encourage more people to learn BIM. For example, the audience learns how to sign some basics about Starbucks, Bearista, Coffee, and Thank You. 

It is more than just a celebration; they are pleased to announce that they have received RM500,000 in contributions. RM250,000 will be distributed to all artists and RM250,000 to MERCY Malaysia's Palestine Relief Fund, respectively. They also made it into the Malaysian Book of Records! Aside from that, I'm pleased to see two Deaf artists, Lim Anuar and Deudney Anak Richard proudly displaying their stunning Bearista artwork. Congratulations to all the artists who collaborated with Starbucks Malaysia to create this meaningful campaign. It proved what Deaf people can do! Overall, it encourages us to take positive action and make a difference. 

This event is quite appealing because it intrigued many people to see the 25 life-size Bearistas in one place. Overall, we were amazed to see and explore 25 life-sized Bearistas. It is a wonderful opportunity to explore around. Aside from that, many people enjoy participating in exciting games and winning prizes, as well as making purchases at the merchandise booth with good discounts and sales. The interesting thing is that they can customize at the Personalisation Booth as well. Anyway, this event is over because it took place from February 22 to 24, 2025.

Please do not be disappointed if you miss this opportunity. You can still look around at Starbucks Coffee Outlet to check and purchase items from the merchandise display or check their online shopping especially if you want a special mini-Bearista collectible. It depends on whether they have stocks that are available.

You can find 25 life-sized Bearistas at 25 selected Starbucks stores throughout Malaysia. Each Bearista will be displayed in a different location and outlet. Want to know where the Starbucks outlet is? Check out this website: https://www.starbucks.com.my/25/
