When: From now until 4 June 2026 | 11am to 8pm
Where: Awegallery
We’ve seen our wet markets, we’ve walked through them, and we’ve shopped in them. But before you think you’ve seen it all, stop by Ryzalman Misran’s ‘Berapa Sekilo’ exhibition at Awegallery. Through his hyperrealistic watercolour creations, the Malaysian artist captures the textures, rhythms, and details of a place that has become more of a mundane, chore-focused destination rather than a symbol of survival and local trade.
