Freakshow Exhibition
Graduates of Limkokwing University circa 2000 to 2003 are reuniting to host a collaborative exhibition with an intriguing theme — freakshows. Maybe there will be a Bowie-inspired piece since the university’s founder is a huge supporter of the late musician. Among the few participating artists are Zainal Abidin Musa, Shazry Azman, Jacqueline Katherine Gomez, Dali A. Azis, and Alpharizan Supiee. Actual freakshows won’t be present in physical form, however, after having too much to drink, we’re fairly certain everyone’s inner Hyde will be on public display, which should be good enough to freak the next person out.
Date Till Saturday 12 March ’16
Time 8.30pm

Esplanade Pres. Rocking The Region with The Venopian Solitude

Ficus & Jars’ Terrarium Workshop
Creating terrariums are therapeutic; from layering the sand, soil, and pebbles to digging holes using a miniature shovel to place the cactuses in — it’s an incredibly enjoyable activity, unless patience is a myth in your life, then maybe it could be tedious, but this isn’t about you. Ficus & Jars are holding a workshop to teach people how to create and take care of their own terrariums (who knew watering a plant once every two weeks would be this difficult?!). The class is priced at RM250, which is inclusive of all materials used for the session including the basic round glass, plants, soil, decorating elements, and mini grading toolkits.
Date Saturday 12 March ’16
Time 10am — 5pm
