Supreme has its archive on display in Belgium and Amsterdam’s FOAM museum is exploring the effects of consumerism on the worlds of beauty and lifestyle. In this week’s Around the World, there’s lots going on which means there’s something for everyone, anywhere. We’re highlighting all the top spots from London to LA, Tokyo to Amsterdam.

Amapiano is coming to London’s Drumsheds

It’s not just any Amapiano, it’s the biggest Amapiano festival in the world that’s coming to London’s Drumshed launched by Piano People. The venue has just announced its inaugural lineup for the year, which include the likes of Skepta, Gorgon City and the Piano People on November 19. For its November festival, Piano People hits up the prime location with Major League DJz. Expect sounds from big name artists like DJ Maphorisa and ODUMODUBLVCK, with tickets already ready for pre-sale.

The Supreme Archive by DUKESARCHIVE© is now open in Belgium

In Knokke, Belgium, it’s a deep dive into Supreme’s history through a specifically curated exhibition by DUKESARCHIVE©, with the exhibition now open at Atelier Vo2 Max Gallery. In there, you’ll find some iconic pieces like the first Supreme x The North Face collab from 2007 or a 1995 Nylon Box Logo Crewneck sweater, as well as sample pieces that never made it to production.

Watch Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey in LA’s open air

Taking place at the Hollywood Bowl tomorrow evening, the iconic Stanley Kubrick film 2001: A Film Odyssey will be shown in open air. It won’t just be your regular outdoor screening though, as the film will be accompanied by a concert and live performances by the LA Phil and the Los Angeles Master Chorale who will take on György Ligeti’s Atmosphères and Johann Strauss’s Blue Danube Waltz.

The Centre Pompidou in Paris honours the LGBTQ+ community

Pride month may be over but that’s not stopping the legendary Centre Pompidou from doing its thing. Titled “Over The Rainbow”, the exhibition will span across twentieth and twenty-first century artists and how they have depicted sexuality through their art, and how this artistic movement has led to legislation.

The city of Arles brings together Nordic photographers

Every year, Arles hosts its photography festival in summer and this year, the Nordic Søsterskap highlights a range of photographers from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland. The theme this year is the welfare state from a female perspective, with works on show produced between the 60s to the 2010s.

Explore the effect of capitalism in beauty at Amsterdam’s FOAM Museum

The legendary FOAM photography museum in Amsterdam is hosting the multimedia artist Sara Cwynar. Titled “Next Level: Sara Cwynar SS23”, the exhibition explores how consumerism has shaped beauty and lifestyle ideas, as well as affecting personal body image, specifically female consumers. From video essays to colleges and installation, the exhibition spans across media and will run until September 27.

Look at Heji Shin’s “The Big Nudes” in New York

With the title “The Big Nudes”, you might have an idea of what to expect at this new David Zwirner gallery exhibition, but you could be wrong. With this one, the New York-based artist Heji Shin invites visitors to explore her deconstruction of propriety with eerily defined photographs of pigs and MRI scans of her own brain.

Spend late summer nights at the Saatchi gallery

London’s Saatchi gallery is officially open for the summer evenings. While in London summer isn’t exactly summer-ing right now, the art space is opening its doors with late-night activities. “How do you see your future?” and “A Creativity Revival: On Consciousness, Communion and Joy” are the two upcoming events that invites its attendees to dive deeper into the world of art.

Technology, social media and the sense of self in Tokyo

The sense of self is a notion that, since the birth of social media, has transformed and found new meanings. The ICC Kids Program this year is holding an exhibition titled “Hi, Nice to Meet Me!” in Tokyo’s NTT ICC Communication Centre that explores identity through modern technologies.
