Exhibition Openings & Book Launches: Mindy Tan & Charmaine Poh
Even though Pride Month has concluded, we can still show our support for our LGBTQ friends. Local street photographers Mindy Tan and Charmaine Poh will be hosting their events, The Hour Before She Sleeps and How She Loves respectively, conveying the stories of third-wave feminism and female couples in Singapore. Candid and having no boundaries, you’ll be able to catch the artists in action during the launches.
Keep an open mind on 10 July 2019 7pm – 9pm, at Objectifs – Centre for Photography and Film. Admission is free, though the exhibition is restricted to 18 and above. Visit the official page here for more information.
STREAT 2019
The Singapore Food Festival is back, and you know that means you’re never leaving with your stomachs empty. Relatively new restaurants such as JAM at SIRI HOUSE and The Feather Blade will be keeping you well-fed, alongside established names like Meatsmith, WokinBurger, and more. Long story short, we’ll be low-key hoping that our waistline doesn’t expand at the end of it all.
Eat to your heart’s content from 12 July to 13 July 2019 5pm – 11pm, at The Promontory@Marina Bay. Visit the Facebook page here for more information.
Strawberry Space Open Air feat Dimitri From Paris
Needless to say, Saturday is almost always better some partying action. Embrace the seafront breeze as Strawberry Space welcomes Parisian DJ Dimitri, who spin records ranging from from 70s Funk to House. Before the headlining hits from Singapore-based Fat Fish Familia and Ice Cream Sundays, you can warm up your dancing feet with DJs Shigeki and Aurora. Go wild or go home, am I right?

KURIOS: Cabinet of Curiosities
When you see the massive tents being constructed at Marina Bay, you’ll know that the circus season is finally upon us. This time, acrobatic legends Cirque du Soleil is set to impress us once again with a brand new theatrical performance – KURIOS, which will be playing in Singapore for the very first-time. Be prepared to be transported to the 19th century as you witness technology and acrobatic stunts intertwining with each other. You’ll probably question the laws of physics after this.
