This isn't just another art festival filling up Bangkok's cultural calendar for its sixth year. Mango Art Festival returns as a space where ideas, people and the city actually talk to each other, transforming everyday inspiration into something worth remembering.

The theme is 'ICON', and it takes over River City Bangkok from March 4 to 8 with a mission to prove that ordinary objects and passing thoughts can become cultural legends when the right creative minds get involved. Across two floors you'll find contemporary art rubbing shoulders with design, fashion and live performance, all trying to shake up what you think art festivals should be. And it's completely free to walk in.
