Themed “Here and Now”, the event calls for reflection of one’s time and environment and draws attention to art as a platform to document and respond to one’s lived experiences. Coupled with the concept of play and innovation, the festival features a multidisciplinary line-up of over 60 programmes and artworks by local and international artists to spark spontaneous and ephemeral encounters with art across the Civic District.

This week’s must-dine is Michelin-starred contemporary Indian restaurant Revolver – now serving its latest set menu entitled “Bullet 8”, featuring a fine selection of irresistibly spiced, fire-kissed dishes, curated by executive chef Saurabh Udinia.
You begin with a Snack Box featuring bite-sized morsels of Burrata Chaat, Sago Crab Fritter, and Wagyu Caviar Tostadas. Revolver’s always-popular Paneer, flown weekly from Delhi, is flavoured with a sweet-spicy blend of mango and habanero.
What follows is a procession of fine seasonal produce from around the world, saturated with Revolver’s bold mix of spices before they are deftly cooked over the open fire grill. They include whole Hamachi Collar, Australian Marron glazed with coriander and mint butter, New Zealand Pamu Venison Seekh cooked over the tandoor, and gorgeous crowns of Romanesco brightened by ginger and tomato.
Reflecting the cool of winter, this season’s Kulchettes are blanketed in fondue with the deep savouriness of Goan chorizo. For dessert, expect a Sea Buckthorn and Cherry Panjiri.
