    Lunar New Year takes a detour through Kolkata, honouring the city’s Chinese community where soy sauce meets mustard oil without apology. The menu, curated by Sayantani ‘Zeena’ Roy, leans nostalgic and generous, built for passing plates across a crowded table. Chilli Chicken arrives glossy and unapologetic, Manchow Soup carries heat that lingers, Hakka Noodles tangle comfort with bite and Gobi Manchurian delivers that familiar sweet-spicy hit. Around the food, abstract canvases line the walls and vintage portraits nod to family histories that stretch across borders. DJ sets go in the background, keeping the room lively but never overwhelming conversation. It is communal, a celebration shaped by migration, memory and the pleasure of eating with your hands slightly stained in sauce.   February 22. Up to B500. Sababa BKK, midday onwards

    Takuya Mitani paints girls who look as if they step from a dream you almost remember. Rooted in Pop Surrealism and Symbolism, his exhibition studies the thin line between purity and the stranger instincts we prefer to dress up politely. Six canvases present young figures adorned with ram horns, crocodile tails and carefully constructed wings. These details read less as fantasy than armour, protective gear for souls that feel both tender and feral. Each composition balances sweetness with unease, decorative calm brushing against something watchful beneath the surface. Mitani suggests myth never disappears; it adapts, shifts shape and lingers in modern life. The work asks you to look twice, then reconsider what innocence really protects.   February 22-March 22. Free. Joyman Gallery, 11am-6pm

    STILL House stands quietly among the glass towers of Asoke, a restored heritage home that favours memory over gloss. Its latest chapter exhibition unfolds through a collaboration between NORSE Republics and &Tradition, a name long associated with Danish craft and considered modernism. Rooms shift from domestic familiarity to thoughtful installation. Chairs, lamps and objects sit not as showroom pieces but as prompts for touch and contemplation. Soft scent lingers, sound hums gently, small tastings appear during workshops that encourage slowing down. The exhibition frames design as lived experience rather than static display, offering a brief retreat from the city’s insistence on speed without losing sight of its context.   Until April 15. Free. STILL House, 10am-7pm

    An ambitious gathering sets its sights on widening the conversation around Thai contemporary performance, linking local practice with international perspectives. Choreographers, dancers, teachers, academics, producers and policymakers share one space, trading research, process and lived experience without hierarchy. The aim feels clear: position Thai work within a global frame while staying alert to its own cultural roots. The programme balances performance with reflection. International showcases sit alongside post-show discussions that trace the journey from tradition to present-day experimentation. Workshops sharpen the focus further, including a Master Class Open Lab led by Hiroaki Umeda, a Fast Track session with Olivier Dubois and a workshop guided by Hillel Kogan. It feels rigorous yet generous, serious about craft while remaining open to exchange. February 21-24. Free. Register via here. Sodsai Pantoomkomol Center of Dramatic Arts and Bangkok Kunsthalle, 7pm-8pm

    Find mountains behind hair strands at Eternal exhibition

    Photograph: KYLA Gallery
    This exhibition asks a gentle but stubborn question: what if the profound sits quietly on your kitchen table. It suggests discovery has less to do with novelty and more to do with attention, the kind that spots a mountain hidden behind a single strand of hair. What rests within reach often escapes notice. Awareness forms through living, watching, reflecting and sensing how time nudges everything along. The room feels hushed, yet movement carries on through deliberate brushstrokes and thin washes of layered pigment. Still-life motifs hold tension between permanence and erosion, solidity and fragility, like tongue against teeth. Each element leans on its opposite. The painterly language distils small daily fragments, revealing a world in steady transformation, including the restless terrain of the mind.   Until March 8. Free. KYLA Gallery, 3pm-midnight

    Pansan Klongdee builds his latest installation around a car that refuses to be defined. Activated through sound and live performance, the work opens with a BMW E34 salvaged from a junkyard off Rama II, its body intact, its future already sealed. The vehicle sits in a kind of purgatory: no longer fully machine, not yet scrap metal. That suspended condition shapes the entire enquiry. Speakers hum, performers circle, gestures repeat as if rehearsing a farewell. Metal becomes witness rather than object. The piece asks how we acknowledge things once their function fades, how we stage rituals for non-human lives and how release sometimes looks less like disappearance and more like a quiet change of state.   Until March 15. Free. Bangkok Kunsthalle, 2pm-8pm

    If your weekend wardrobe needs a plot twist, Intersect Flea Market has returned with its after-hours ease intact. The Drop & Dig corner rewards patience: racks of pre-loved gems, odd little treasures and pieces that feel as though they have lived a life before you. Elsewhere, Thai designers and emerging labels set up shop, offering work that feels considered rather than churned out. As dusk settles, the Chill Out area earns its name. Friends sprawl across low seating, conversations stretch, someone laughs too loudly. A live band soundtracks the evening without demanding attention. It is the sort of market where you arrive for a quick look and end up staying far longer than planned.   February 19-22. Free. Slowcombo, 4pm-midnight

    An exhibition confronting Thai democracy arrives with unsettling clarity, pairing Manit Sriwanichpoom and Akkara Naktamna in a conversation that feels both personal and painfully public. Their works sketch daily existence beneath rigid political scripts where citizenship becomes an endurance test rather than an act of participation. Photographs and installations lean on sharp metaphors: veiled faces, constricted bodies, environments that appear breathable yet quietly hostile. Each piece questions authority’s gentle language while revealing how control slips through education, media, ritual. Viewers are left wondering what belief even means when vision feels filtered and breath negotiated. Are citizens misled, or simply surviving within limits imposed long before consent? The exhibition asks uncomfortable questions without promising answers, suggesting delusion may not belong to individuals alone but to a system sustained by repetition, fear and uneasy silence.   Until April 12. Free. West Eden Gallery, 11am-6pm

    Thai illustrator Lili Tae, also known as Phindita Techamongkhalaphiwat, presents a solo exhibition curated by Jason Yang that feels like stepping through shifting layers of memory, dream and landscape. Her digital paintings grow from quiet encounters with forests, wandering paths and unexpected meetings with flora and fauna, reshaped through a deeply personal lens. Soft brushwork meets luminous colour, allowing realism to brush against fantasy and moments of gentle surrealism without losing emotional clarity. Figures appear suspended between waking life and subconscious reflection, suggesting stories half remembered rather than fully explained. Natural textures echo skin, water, leaves and shifting weather, giving each image a tactile presence despite its digital form. Viewers wander through scenes that feel intimate yet expansive, reflecting how imagination reshapes daily observation without ever fully separating from lived experience.   Until March 16. Free. GalileOasis Gallery, 9am-8pm

    The Suicide Squad

    The Suicide Squad

    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.
