SAWANG SAWAI SIWILAI
Until May 30
Designated areas in both Central Embassy and the recently launched Central: The Original Store (in Charoenkrung) are going to be buzzing with artistic activity this month as all Siwilai venues – Siwilai Store, Siwilai Cafe, Siwilai City Club, and Siwilai Sound Club – become living, breathing art spaces during the first ever Sawang Sawai Siwilai art festival. The aim of this monthlong undertaking is to create a reallife platform that connects people to new experiences, encouraging them to explore creativity, cultivate community, and connect through the power of art and culture. Thai and international artists – from internationally established names to up-and-coming talents – will be exhibiting new and commissioned paintings, sculptures, installations, moving images, and performance art. In addition to the artwork there will be a four-weekend roster of thought-provoking seminars, hands-on workshops, musical performances, art tours, art markets, and food-meets-art events helmed by the city’s top chefs.
