Steel doors slide open again at New World Mall, a place once synonymous with weekends, first dates and air-conditioned escape. Long dormant, the building now hosts 8+1 Circuit of Stories, an exhibition mapping Banglamphu to Khaosan through shared memory rather than nostalgia. Eight surrounding neighbourhoods sit alongside one economic strip, from Khaosan Road to Phra Athit and Phra Sumen, forming a loose circuit shaped by lived experience. Residents speak first here. Voices, photographs, worn objects and half-remembered details anchor the work, gathered and reimagined by five artist-designer collectives. The mall becomes a hinge between past and present, holding fragments without polishing them too smooth. Wandering through the installations feels less like sightseeing and more like listening in on a long conversation already underway. What emerges is not a landmark story, but a portrait of place built from ordinary lives and stubborn continuity.
Until February 8. Free. New World Mall, 11am-10pm
