Things To Do In Singapore: Strange Weather Returns With A Massive Two-Night Experience & More

WEEK OF MAR 30:

MAKE YOUR OWN RAYA TABLESCAPE (AND BOUQUET) HERE

If your idea of Raya prep includes getting a little hands-on, this one’s for you. Botanical design studio Fawn World and events organiser Aisyari Maison are hosting a workshop where you’ll build a lush bouquet using botanicals significant in Islamic traditions, try your hand at ketupat weaving, and co-create a beautifully styled buffet tablescape. It all wraps up with small bites and a drink—because no good gathering ends without food.

Sign up for a spot here.

 Apr 3, 10am - 12pm or 2pm - 4pm, at 101 Lor 23 Geylang #04-02

CATCH SINGAPOREAN SHORT FILMS MADE ABROAD

Mar 31, 7pm - 10pm, at The Coup, 7 Ann Siang Hill

DIVE DEEP INTO THE BASS AT KEEP HUSH x CARHARTT WIP SINGAPORE

Keep Hush x Carhartt WIP returns to Singapore for its second edition at RASA, presented by Huru-Hara. This chapter leans into diasporic rhythms, leftfield club sounds, and sound system intimacy, featuring Southeast Asian voices shaping an evolving bass landscape.

Names to look out for include RAH (SG/Naarm), who blends dubwise pressure with jazz-inflected rhythms honed at festivals like Dimensions and Wonderfruit; Bali’s Raissa Febriani folds gendang, gamelan, and experimental techno into sets that feel ancestral yet forward-facing; SHYHAIR (KL) and Jaydah (SG) reunite for a rare B2B of bass-driven, rhythm-heavy intensity; and TASHASAN (SG) moves through leftfield breaks, dubstep, garage, and percussive hybrids anchored by deep low-end pressure.

After a short break, Objects.re will be launching a new shipment of smaller treasures alongside a lineup of creative makers: @madspatial with home decor, lighting, and lifestyle pieces; @dyingtradessg exploring natural materials, processing, and cording; @world.of.ode with design-focused objects; @everyday0bjects bringing the funkiest ceramics; @aomorie.official with small-batch accessories; and @flipcoffeeroasters keeping everyone fuelled.

TAKE PART IN A LARGER-THAN-LIFE GAME SET AT ASIAN CIVILISATIONS MUSEUM

Wormhole Bookstore is turning the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) into a giant playground for Play Date, part of ACM’s Let’s Play! Weekend Festival. Think a pop-up market stacked with goodies from Cruddy, Dapiku Sweets, Frikin Guds, Global Mat Soul Kitchen, Poison Studio, Slowmolds Ceramics, and more—plus life-size Snakes & Ladders where your trivia skills actually matter, and a wildly chaotic Hopscotch that’s perfect for families or friends ready to just goof off. There are cash vouchers and prizes sprinkled in too, so bring your energy, your curiosity, and maybe a competitive streak—you’re going to need it.

Mar 28-29, 10am - 4pm, at Asian Civilisations Museum, 1 Empress Place

LEARN ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY IN STRANGE NEW WAYS

What does it actually mean to understand the human body? ArtScience Museum’s latest blockbuster Flesh and Bones: The Art of Anatomy (a collaboration with the Getty Research Institute) takes that question and runs with it—bringing together over 160 artefacts and artworks that trace how the body has been studied, imagined, and reinterpreted across time and cultures. Marking the museum’s 15th anniversary, the exhibition moves from 18th-century anatomical engravings and rare medical texts to contemporary installations, including Chiharu Shiota’s immersive The Network Within.

There’s also a look at Traditional Chinese Medicine, alongside real anatomical specimens typically only seen in medical settings. It’s equal parts art, science, and a little bit surreal—less clinical than you’d expect, and far more thought-provoking.

On now till Aug 16, 10am - 7pm, at ArtScience Museum, 6 Bayfront Avenue

STEP INTO THE WACKIEST SUPERMARKET

Bangkok-based artist Nene (Nanthawan Jamsai) brings her playful world to Singapore with 555 MART, her first solo show here—turning Heartware Store & Gallery into a cheerful, slightly surreal corner shop.

Known for finding charm in the everyday, Nene transforms snack packaging, street food, and small, forgettable objects into quirky, endearing drawings using ballpoint pen and neon risograph. The result feels familiar but offbeat—like the things you’d casually pick up, reimagined with a sense of humour. The show pulls from her travels and everyday encounters, with new works and exhibition-exclusive pieces scattered throughout the “store”. Even the title is a joke: “555” is Thai internet slang for laughter, and the whole space leans into that energy—light, curious, and a little bit absurd.

Mar 27 - May 17, 12pm - 7pm, at Heartware Store & Gallery, 350B Joo Chiat Road, 3rd floor

CATCH A FILM AND FOOD EXPERIENCE

Indie film collective FFIGS first caught our eye last November as a guerilla group of sorts that seems to have started as a cheeky counterpart of the Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF, geddit?). They’re continuing their good work - their latest event, A Tactile & Gastronomical Encounter pairs four secret snack‑film combos, each exploring taste, texture, and vibe across all five senses—come hungry, curious, and ready to be surprised.

RSVP here

Mar 28, 7.30pm - 9.30pm, at Goethe-Institut Singapore, 136 Neil Road

TAKE PART IN THIS TEXTILE WORKSHOP

Step into a 250-year-old Japanese textile tradition with this hands-on Yumihama Kasuri workshop. Led by weaver Seisuke Ikeda—who continues the legacy of master craftswoman Etsuko Shimada—you’ll learn how carefully prepared threads come together to form intricate ikat patterns. But it’s less about getting it perfect, and more about getting into the rhythm. By the end, you’ll have your own piece to take home—along with a deeper appreciation for the time, patience, and care behind it.

RSVP here

Mar 28 - 29, 10am and 1pm, at Asaru Studio, 195 Pearl’s Hill Terrace, #01-07

SETTLE INTO A DEEP LISTENING EXPERIENCE

Softerfields hosts a vibey listening session centred on Japanese jazz pianist Ryo Fukui’s cult album Scenery. A late bloomer by jazz standards, Fukui only began playing in his twenties and was largely self-taught, developing his sound in small Sapporo clubs after hours. Released in 1976, Scenery has since become a cult favourite for its raw, unpolished quality—you can hear the room, the hesitation, the feeling of someone playing with instinct rather than perfection. Expect a dimly lit space, intimate energy, and sound that draws you in slowly. It’s less about performance and more about presence—just sit back, tune in, and let it unfold.

Mar 26, 7pm - 10pm, at 18A Foch Road

HIT UP THIS POWER PUFF GIRL-THEMED PARTY

After stepping away from the spotlight, drag queen supreme Sapphire Blast returns with a glittery, slightly unhinged comeback—this time turning Baby Boy into a full-blown cartoon fever dream inspired by The Powerpuff Girls.

Enter the Cvnty Puff Girls: three queens—Kak Nina Boo, Sapphire Blast, and Tiara Sorrel—serving sugar, spice, and something far less innocent. Expect high-energy drag, a lot of attitude, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. Behind the decks, Chael En, Lokies, and Tuah keep the night moving.

Get your tickets here

Mar 28, 10pm - 3am, at Hardrock Cafe, 50 Cuscaden Road, #02-01 Hpl House

WEEK OF MAR 16:

CATCH THE AMOEBA FILM SCREENING

After months of buzz, Amoeba — the coming-of-age feature from emerging Singapore director Tan Siyou — has finally arrived on local screens. The film follows a group of misfit girls navigating an oppressive school system, capturing the tensions of girlhood, friendship, and youthful defiance. True to its title, Amoeba moves fluidly between humour, awkwardness, and quiet introspection, capturing the emotional elasticity of growing up in contemporary Singapore. If you’ve read our previous interview with Siyou, this is your chance to see the world she spoke about come to life.

Get your tickets here

Mar 21, 26, 27, 28, 29, various times, at Filmhouse, 6001 Beach Road, #05-00 Golden Mile Tower

CHECK OUT AN ILLUSTRATION “HOTPOT” SHOW

The Berlin-based screenprint studio and publisher Le Raclet returns to Singapore for a second round, popping up at Chaos Gallery with a fresh batch of hand-pulled silkscreen prints. Produced in collaboration with a roster of illustrators and artists, the new edition features works by Jose Quintanar, Mia Oberlander, Anna Haifisch, Patsachon, and Nnene Iie, among others.

Expect a colourful mix of graphic styles and beautifully crafted prints — each one hand-pulled using traditional silkscreen techniques. Drop by, take a break from the endless scroll, and browse through the selection — you might just find the next piece for your wall.

On now till Mar 31, 1pm - 6pm (closed on Mondays), at Knuckles & Notch, 261 Waterloo Street, #02-25 Waterloo Centre

PARTY AT THE MUSEUM... WITH DINOSAURS

Raving under a dinosaur skeleton might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a science museum — but that’s exactly the premise of Dino Disco: The Last Dance, an after-hours silent disco at Science Centre Singapore.

For one night only, the museum transforms into a prehistoric dance floor, with DJs spinning curated sets while partygoers tune in through wireless headphones. The dance floor? Right beneath a towering cast of Patagotitan — one of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered.

The event also marks the closing celebration of the Dinosaurs: Extinction/Us exhibition, which wraps up two days later. It’s part of the Science Centre’s new after-dark programme, Sundown Science, designed to bring science together with music, culture, and community.

 Mar 21, 8pm - 11pm, at Singapore Science Centre, 15 Science Centre Road

TAKE PART IN A LIFE DRAWING SESSION

Sketch the female form inside an exhibition setting at this special life drawing session organised by Art Again, presented as part of Weekend Culture for International Women’s Day. The session invites participants to draw among more than 40 works by women artists (and set within a very atmospheric 1960s apartment) — offering a moment to reflect on how women’s roles in life drawing have shifted over time, from subjects of the gaze to active participants shaping the practice as artists and models.

Arrive early to explore the exhibition, which brings together works by ten women artists who have played key roles in Singapore’s art history, before settling in for a guided life drawing session within the gallery itself. Materials are provided, though participants are welcome to bring their own tools — and their own drinks.

Mar 19, 6pm - 8pm, at 10c Kim Tian Road

STEP INSIDE ARTIST LUKE HENG’S WORLD OF FRAGILE MOMENTS

Yeo Workshop presents Mechanics of the Snap, a solo exhibition by Singaporean artist Luke Heng and his first with the gallery. The show brings together a new body of oil paintings developed over the past three years.
Departing from his earlier atmospheric “non-place” scenes, Heng’s latest works feature tightly cropped compositions drawn from film stills, news imagery, and digital screenshots. By translating these fleeting images into slow, tactile oil paintings, he turns moments that feel weightless on screen into dense, material objects.

Beneath their familiar imagery — cakes, cars, swimming pools — the paintings quietly examine what happens when the systems that hold things together begin to give way.

On now till May 24, 11am - 7pm (closed on Mondays), at Yeo Workshop, 47 Malan Road, #01-25 Gillman Barracks

CATCH AN INTIMATE LIVE MUSIC SHOW

Step into To the Moon and Back, an intimate live music experience at Chaos Gallery this weekend. Set amid original local artwork, the concert reflects on the quiet ways love is felt and expressed, from romantic gestures to familial bonds.

The programme features classical pieces by Elgar, Satie, and Schumann, alongside iconic film music from Up and La La Land, performed by mezzo-soprano Priscilla Fong, clarinetist Stephanie Tan, and harpist Nigel Foo.
Paired with an exhibition by local artist Stephanie Tan, the show invites audiences to pause and reflect on love’s subtle, transformative moments.

Mar 20 - 22, 7pm & 8.30pm, at Chaos Gallery, 261 Waterloo St, #02-25 Waterloo Centre

WEEK OF MAR 3:

CHECK OUT RIRKRIT TIRAVANIJA’S NEW SOLO SHOW AT STPI

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:

STPI presents RIRKRIT TIRAVANIJA: SAY YES TO EVERYTHING, the largest solo exhibition by the internationally acclaimed Argentine-Thai artist in Singapore to date. Famous for turning everyday acts — cooking, eating, folding origami, talking — into art, Tiravanija invites audiences to take part in shared experiences that put human connection front and centre.

Across prints, editioned objects, and participatory installations spanning over a decade, the show explores migration, travel, belonging, and the ways social interaction can become art. Visitors can watch, play, eat, or simply join in — the exhibition literally turns the gallery into a stage for collaboration and experimentation.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO:
Think of this exhibition as a social experiment that you get to step inside. From sharing a meal to folding paper, every interaction is part of the work. It’s thoughtful, intimate, playful, and entirely unique to STPI.

Mar 7 - May 9, 10am - 7pm (closed on Sundays), at STPI, 41 Robertson Quay, Singapore

DROP BY YABAI YABAI’S GARAGE SALE AND FAREWELL PARTY

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:
Before moving to Tokyo, beloved fashion and textiles label Yabai Yabai is throwing one final send-off at their Singapore studio. Designer Stacy Tan is opening the doors for a Studio Garage Sale Party, where you can snag pieces from the archive — some at seriously crazy low prices.
It’s a chance to celebrate milestones, soak up the studio vibes, and grab one-of-a-kind items before the label relocates permanently. Think of it less as a farewell and more as a proper sayonara to the space that shaped Yabai Yabai.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO:
Step into the studio, discover hidden gems, and take home a piece of Yabai Yabai history. Chat with Stacy, reminisce, and soak up the energy of a space that’s been central to Singapore’s creative scene.

Mar 7 - 8, 11am - 7pm, at Goodman Arts Centre, Block G, 90 Goodman Road

PICK UP SOME FASHION GEMS AT THIS MARKET

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:

Calling all fashion collectors: No Sense studio is back with a market that’s heavy on the cool - think labels like Paul Harnden, Lemaire and Kapital. In other words, brands that aren’t cookie cutter and definitely not another TikTok label.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO:

This market is basically one of those thrown by people with seriously discerning tastes, so the curation’s already been done for you, basically.

Mar 7, 1pm - 7pm, at 195 Pearl’s Hill Terrace, #03-26

HEAD FOR THE LIBRARY’S SILENT DISCO

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:

The National Library Board flips the script on play with PRESSPLAY 2026, an arts festival that invites you to interact with creativity in unexpected ways. After a month of fringe programmes — workshops, artist residencies, and exhibitions — the main festival this Saturday turns the Central Library into an after-hours bibliotheque-discotheque. There’ll be plenty of local acts to bop to (hi Shye and Forests!), lose yourself in the silent disco, make something at craft stations, explore a curated art market, or just curl up with a book in a cosy corner.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO:

It’s one of those nights where you can show up for the music, stick around for the crafts, and leave with new inspirations, new friends, and maybe even a new favourite book — all in a library that feels completely different after dark.

 Mar 7, 5pm - 12am, at Central Library, 100 Victoria Street

CELEBRATE WOMENHOOD AT THESE LIFE DRAWING SESSIONS

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:

This March, in honour of International Women’s Day, new creative co-working space In The Boonies is exploring womanhood across time through their life drawing sessions. The first session focuses on the Mid-Century Housewife: think the quiet, unseen labour of caretaking: flowing dresses, aprons, and gentle gestures that capture nurture in its most essential form.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO:
Whether you’re a seasoned sketcher or just curious, these Saturdays offer a chill, focused morning to draw, reflect, and connect with a growing community. There’s even a limited Bring A Friend promo, so grab anyone — friends, siblings, family, or partners — and share the experience.

Sign up here.

Mar 7 - 28, 10am - 12.30pm, at In The Boonies, 65 Sims Avenue, #02-03
