Art exhibition BOOMZOOMROOM is based on a research initiative called "Life of Z" by R+ of GDP Architects, which focuses on generational differences and specifically, Generation Z. Eight artists and five collectives were invited to access the research and create works around the theme of generational conversations. We review the exhibition and talk about how well the works each interpret this theme.

After previous successful stagings, IQ.Rock by Anomalist Production is back from a four-year hiatus, with its exploration of a young man growing up in a FELDA settlement, and how his relationship with his English teacher changes and opens up his perspective of the world. We speak with the play's lead actors, Fimie Don and Ranessa Theyakaraja about the play's themes, and how theatre can be a form of activism.
