3Thirty iconic works of renowned photojournalist Reza Deghati are currently on show at House of Lucie in Bangkok as part of the Spotlights On Reza: Our Human Family exhibition.

After having held monumental shows in Paris, London, Brussels and New York, the French-Iranian photographer’s work is now on show in Bangkok until Sept 1. House of Lucie is on Ekamai 8.
4The Commons Block Party is back for its third edition today.
