Hold on, how did we get here? We blinked and it’s already almost the end of October. Weekends are for unwinding from the chaos over the week; be it with friends, family or a little me-time, so here are seven things you can do this weekend.

Where: The Zhongshan Building, Jalan Kampung Attap, 80 – 84, Jalan Rotan, 50460 Kuala Lumpur
When: 21 October 2023, 12pm till late
The thing about being a multicultural country is that there’s always something new to learn about the many cultures in Malaysia. This Sunday, head over to Canto Yay, a mini-festival celebrating every aspect of Cantonese culture.
From visual arts to film, music, street culture, and more, the festival will be a playground for you to explore the many complexities of Cantonese culture across decades. Sit in for a film screening, visit the movie-themed exhibition that is a nod to ‘90s Cantonese movies, or learn to play traditional games like pai gow and mahjong. That’s not all, what’s a festival without the music? Party it up with Cantonese Soundcloud rap legend $alty Chick, Dametrill, and Typo D on the decks.

When: 10 October – 12 November 2023
Shhh, the art has something to say. To bridge the gap between the Malaysian public and local arts, Phillip Wong—curator, artist, and storyteller—founded Telur Peach, a contemporary art exhibition, to let the art speak for itself and the artist. Telur Pecah 3.0 is the third instalment of this exhibition. This year, the theme revolves around aspiration and positive growth—all while doing what we can within our means to #MakeMore art that can #MeanMore to everyone.
This edition is also the biggest one yet, with more artwork on display. Telur Pecah 3.0 has collaborated with Core Design Gallery, an established local independent art gallery, where a section of the place is dedicated to the selected artists to display their artworks.

When: 21 October 2023, 2pm – 4pm
Price: RM250
Claude Monet was a beloved painter that was key in the impressionist art movement which changed French painting in the nineteenth century—his paintings were often his observations of the way light, weather, season, and time of day changed the way his garden looked.
Set across the lake views of Jade Hills, learn the ways of Monet at this acrylic painting workshop and paint the iconic water lilies that solidified his art forever. You’ll even be given a scoop of Gioia’s signature gelato during the workshop.
