Nawwar Shukriah Ali, fondly known as Bono Stellar, is having her first solo show at Petaling Jaya’s newest art space. The exhibition is named after the Greek word for ‘flourishing’ or ‘well-being’ which perfectly captures the artist’s vision of reconciling the complexities of being human through bright colours and light-reflective materials.
The themed night is inspired by the movie Paris is Burning, RuPaul’s Drag Race and Pose on Netflix — so you know this is one pulling out all the stops. Sign up to partake in the catwalk, ‘Vogue & Strike a Pose’, and lip sync competitions and you could walk away with cash prizes and drinks! Or simply dance the night away as DJ Shahrezzan Mustaffa Ezani takes the decks. In the mood for some competition? Email contact@theberlinkl.com or drop them a message on Facebook.
It’s gin o’clock at Pinchos where a collection of gins are yours for the drinking, paired with delicious tapas. Bar manager M.I. Rony is the man of the hour as he creates gin-based cocktails with exotic gins such as NTC & SONS Premium Reserve Gin, Mombasa, Gin Mare & As De Picos. The tapas selection includes Grilled NZ Lamb Chop with Chimichurri Salsa and Premium Spanish Anchovies with Boquerones. Reservations are required.
