River City Bangkok's new exhibition lets you bring your pet – and it's all about a shy little dachshund

Some dogs win people over by being bold, glossy and impossible to ignore. Wednesday does the opposite.

The small brown dachshund, already a familiar face to Bangkok art lovers, is shy, anxious and not always sure what to do with herself. Which, of course, is exactly why everyone loves her.

Now she gets her biggest outing yet. 'Wednesday: All Over the Place' lands at River City Bangkok this July, inviting visitors to follow the worried little sausage dog as she inches her way through unfamiliar people, places and feelings.

It is cute, yes, but not just cute. The show uses Wednesday’s wobbly courage to talk about fear, self-doubt, hesitation and the small daily bravery of keeping going anyway.

Behind it all is Newyear, the illustrator and contemporary pop artist who created Wednesday. Through her character’s awkward encounters and tiny internal dramas, Newyear turns a dog’s eye view of the world into something more personal: a reminder that stepping outside your comfort zone rarely feels graceful at first.

The exhibition unfolds across five zones:

Zone 1: Wednesday in a Loop
Zone 2: After Long Thinking
Zone 3: Out of Comfort Zone
Zone 4: Time for Self-reflection
Zone 5: Perfectly Imperfect

And there is the extra tail-wagging bit: for the first time, River City Bangkok is letting pets come along too. They will need to stay in a stroller or carrier, which may be the most civilised gallery etiquette Bangkok has seen in a while. 

Catch ‘Wednesday: All Over the Place’ at RCB Galleria 2, second floor, River City Bangkok, from July 9-September 6, daily 10am-8pm. Tickets are B100 for the Introvert Pass or B150 for the Besties Pass, which includes your pet, via Ticketmelon. 

Go on. Wednesday is waiting.
