Experience the resonant tones of Himalayan singing bowls in a meditative session designed to foster inner balance. This practice focuses on the seven chakras, guiding participants through a journey that encourages release across physical, emotional and mental layers. Through carefully crafted soundscapes and stillness, blocked energy may begin to shift, creating space for clarity and lightness. The session offers a moment to pause and listen, both to the sound and to what lies within. As tension softens and distractions fade, the body and mind are invited into a more peaceful rhythm, allowing rest and subtle restoration to naturally unfold. Apr 19. B888. Reserve via Instagram @soulglowwithmai. Energy Space, Slowcombo, 10am-midday

A driving force behind baile funk’s international reach, Brazil’s RHR reshapes the country’s club sound by blending its gritty roots with bass-heavy, electro and rave influences. Emerging from São Paulo’s underground, his productions have landed on labels such as Mamba Rec, Omnidisc and Tijolo Records, with a collaboration featured on Skrillex’s forthcoming release. His sets are charged with intensity, marked by pulsing beats and relentless motion. Joining the night is DJ Kade, known for weaving together hip-hop, R&B, house and early 2000s edits. As a founding member of Lonely Girls Club BKK, her style is bold and tightly crafted, delivering infectious energy with every mix. Apr 19. B450 via here and B600 at the door. BEAM, 9pm onwards

Fake Bookshop

Things to do
RattanakosinUntil May 3, 2025

Photograph: Lou Hieb Seng

Created by a fraudulent psychologist, delves into the complexities of capitalism. This thought-provoking display aims to critique and satirise the way society interacts with the capitalist system, while also highlighting the mental health issues it fosters. Presented through the lens of a fake bookstore, the exhibition showcases counterfeit books, offering a unique perspective on the consequences of living within such a system. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the impact of capitalism not only on societal structures but also on individual well-being, using irony and symbolism to challenge conventional views. By blending art and social commentary, it provides a compelling exploration of the emotional and psychological toll caused by modern economic systems. Arp 11-May 3. Free. Lou Hieb Seng, 11am-7pm

Quantum Lightborn

Things to do
SiamUntil Apr 30, 2025

Photograph: Tat Nattee

This exhibition showcases Tat Nattee's latest series of paintings, which reimagine albino children not as anomalies but as ‘Lightborn’ – beings of the future, where their distinctiveness becomes their strength. The inspiration for this collection comes from a deeply personal experience the artist had when encountering an albino child. This moment stirred a mix of emotions, both awe and surprise. The child, visibly radiant yet socially vulnerable, represented a striking blend of uniqueness and solitude. While rare creatures like white elephants, albino buffaloes, and variegated plants are often revered, albino humans are frequently seen as biological oddities rather than celebrated for their extraordinary qualities. Until Apr 30. Free. Fashion Gallery, 10am-9pm

Of Kids and Men

Things to do
Phaya ThaiUntil Apr 26, 2025

Photograph: Kittisak Wanichbut

Kittisak Wanichbut’s photography exhibition explores the experience of boyhood within a society where patriarchal values hold deep influence. It portrays the shaping of identity, expectations of masculinity and the unspoken pressures passed from one generation to the next. As traditions persist, differences in beliefs and evolving ideals often create tensions between age groups, leading to inevitable conflict. Through carefully framed images, the work reveals an internal struggle – an interplay of conformity and defiance. Each photograph speaks to the subconscious, capturing emotions that shift between acceptance and resistance. The figures within these scenes may serve as echoes of childhood or projections of an adult self. Until April 26. Free. 6060 Arts Space, midday-8pm

Teeth and Tenderness

Things to do
YaowaratUntil Apr 20, 2025

Photograph: Tang Contemporary Art Bangkok

Kim Lim, a Filipino artist, presents a tranquil world through her paintings, shaping landscapes from interwoven branches, wild grasses and vivid tones. Her work carries a quiet strength, blending delicacy with resilience. The presence of teeth in her compositions serves as a striking metaphor for maintaining gentleness despite visible fractures. Each piece reflects an underlying tension between fragility and endurance, inviting contemplation on how beauty can persist amid disruption. The contrast between soft natural elements and symbols of resistance highlights an unspoken struggle, where tenderness does not equate to weakness. Lim’s approach transforms familiar imagery into thought-provoking scenes, capturing a sense of stillness that is both comforting and unsettling. Her canvases suggest that even in a fractured space, a quiet but unyielding force remains. Until April 20. Free. Tang Contemporary Art Bangkok, 11am-7pm

Memory No.22

Things to do
CharoenkrungUntil Apr 27, 2025

Photograph: 333Gallery

This exhibition brings together two distinct artistic perspectives, exploring the balance between connection and contrast, personal recollection and shared nostalgia. This exhibition encourages visitors to reflect on their own experiences and how they influence perception. Korn Neeyabhan draws inspiration from vintage toys and dolls, crafting resin and vinyl figures that function as visual diaries. Each piece preserves fleeting moments, emotions and fragments of lived experience, inviting audiences to uncover layers of sentiment. In contrast, Jakrapong Siririn employs the concept of the Rorschach inkblot test, creating semi-abstract compositions that encourage imagination. His use of colour and form is intended to elicit emotion, allowing each person to interpret the work through their own lens. Until Apr 27. Free. 333Gallery, 11am-6pm

Messages from the Future

Things to do
Thawi WatthanaUntil May 4, 2025

Photograph: ARDEL Gallery of Modern Art

The world is facing a crisis, yet many see it as a distant issue. If this mindset continues, the situation will only worsen. In the near future, more people must take notice of the warnings embedded in artistic expression. Messages from the Future speaks from a planet in decline, plagued by environmental degradation, toxic air, conflicts and waves of displacement. These signals urge society to wake up and act before irreversible damage occurs. Without awareness and collective effort, the earth’s future may be far from hopeful. The artist, Teerawat Ngamchuachit communicates this stark reality through his paintings. Though visually unembellished, they carry a depth that cannot be overlooked, challenging viewers to reflect on what lies ahead if change does not come. Until May 4. Free. ARDEL Gallery of Modern Art, 10am-6pm

A Quiet Place Part II

imdb

Release date: October 1

No Time to Die

MGM

Release date: October 7

Daniel Craig’s fifth and last outing as 007 sees the now-retired agent briefly going back into action to chase after yet another mysterious baddie who plans to cause chaos with destructive new technology.

The Suicide Squad

Warner Bros

Release date: October 1

Don’t confuse this with the critically-panned 2016 attempt at giving life to a troop of crazy DC supervillains back in 2016. The Suicide Squad (as opposed to just “Suicide Squad”) is the sequel-slash-reboot, as well as an ambitious undertaking to overshadow the reputation of the original incarnation. It’s directed by James Gunn (you know, of Marvel’s Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy fame), so it would be interesting to see how the movie pans out.
