Ramadan has officially begun, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the city has quietened down. On the contrary, KL continues to buzz with exhibitions, bazaars and happenings to keep your weekends productive and fulfilling. Here are seven things worth adding to your calendar to cap off March:

There will be 10 themed sections featuring drawings, paintings, photographs, sketchbooks, moving-image works, and sculptural installations focusing on the recurrent visual themes and motifs found in Burton’s art and films.

When: 18 March to 19 April 2023 | Wednesday to Sunday, 12PM to 6PM
Where: The Backroom KL, The Zhongshan Building
In an introspective mood this weekend? Head over to The Backroom KL to check out a solo art exhibition by Gan Siong King, a mid-career homegrown artist whose works have been showcased in residencies and galleries all around the world. Titled ‘Pictures of Things’, the exhibition explores his recent paintings that serve as mediums for communication and meaning.
“It is a memory of an exhibition I had wanted to make in those early months of the pandemic in 2020. Quiet, not loud. [The exhibition] should feel like a crisp blank piece of A4 paper. A space that the audience can use as a mirror and project whatever is in their heads,” Gan explains.
