Culture Fix: Your guide to a Vogue weekend

Facebook

Every week, Vogue gives you a cultural calendar comprising the best of music, art, photography, food and fashion.

This week watch a play written by Mahesh Bhatt, attend a live rock concert by Indus Creed, and satiate your sweet cravings at a Dessert Garden.

Read on for what else made it to Vogue's list of all things cultural this week.

If you're in Mumbai…

Attend a video art exhibition

With a specific focus on the artists themselves, the August edition of the video art exhibition explores the existentialist crisis and the ability each individual has to create or destroy, and the burden that accompanies it. If you're looking to look for a little self-exploration, this exhibition is for you.

When: August 1, 3:30pm (and through the month of August)
Where: Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Mumbai

Crank up your Friday night

Begin your weekend with Krunk Live—featuring Sleepwalker and AlgoRythm—with genres varying from alternative dance music to '80s retro-inspired disco. We hope you're all set to dance the night away.

When: July 31, 9:30pm
Where: Café Nemo, Worli, Mumbai

Treat your taste buds

Dutch pancakes, churros, macaroons, hand-made marshmallows, fairy floss – could it get any better? Satisfy all your sugar cravings at Dessert Garden, the first pop-up dessert shop in Bandra and enjoy a wide selection of delectable goodies from 20 handpicked stalls.

When: August 1, 12-6pm
Where: Out Of The Blue, Khar, Mumbai

Understand the nature of things

Attend The Nature of Things, an exhibition at Sakshi Salon, featuring Lekha Washington, an artist who focuses on post-surrealist work—all self-taught, of course—as she explores the deep underlying connect between bodily forms and the beauty of nature. Expect video, paintings, sculptures and installations.

When: Ongoing until August 14
Where: Sakshi Salon, Khar, Mumbai

If you're in Bengaluru…

Attend a psychedelic punk jazz concert

Known for their eclectic music genre, psychedelic punk jazz with a hint of Latin, the Jass B’stards attempt to showcase Jazz in a different light, by utilizing unique instruments such as a transistor radio, and an electric sitar. If that isn't enough to draw your attention, there will also be a late night set by DJ Flexi K following the concert.

When: August 1, 9pm
Where: B Flat Bar, Indira Nagar, Bengaluru

Engage in political incorrectness

Join Sundeep Rao and Sorab Pant as they take a wide variety of world leaders, and carefully concoct their interesting personalities into far more interesting cocktails. Prepare yourselves to clutch your sides with laughter during this hilarious and unique event.

When: August 1, 9pm
Where: High Ultra Lounge, North Bengaluru

Listen to Indus Creed live

Famously known as India's frontrunner for rock, Indus Creed comes together with Khalid Ahamed to perform live with their unique sound, revolving around the importance of free expression. Whether or not you’re a fan of classic rock, this night will surely be one to remember.

When: July 31, 9pm
Where: Humming Tree, Indira Nagar, Bengaluru

If you're in Delhi…

Go down three different paths

Explore 3 Paths, an exhibition featuring three different artists—Nanda Gupta, Kushboo Chatterjee, Arun Kumar—all of whom will take you on three individual journeys with their unique and eclectic styles, and compel you to draw a connect between them.

When: July 31 and August 1, 10am-8pm
Where: Convention Centre Foyer, India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, Delhi

Watch a Mahesh Bhatt play

Written by Mahesh Bhatt and Suhrita Sengupta, Hamari Adhuri Kahaani is based on the novel, All That Could Have Been, and tells the tale of love that bloomed between two unexpected people—a rich hotelier and a married florist—a love expected to be doomed from the very beginning. Starring Bhatt’s protégé, Imran Zahid, this play is definitely one to tug at your heartstrings.

When: August 1 and 2, 7pm, 3pm
Where: Shri Ram Centre, Delhi
