Understanding Aids

To raise public awareness about the need to understand and care for HIV-positive children, the "we understand group" is holding an art, music and drama festival on April 29 called "Who Am I Why I Am Here".

The children will present their paintings and photographs as a group of actresses, including Natarika Thammapreedanun and Wannaporn Chimbanjong, create pieces of art alongside teachers from Raemkhom Art School.

The Baimai Paa group will help children make their own books while noted artist Chalit Nakpawan will teach them how to create paper sculptures. G-One and friends will entertain kids with live music and drama. Actor Assadawut Ruengsoonthron will be the emcee.

The festival will be held in the Muang Thai Life Assurance auditorium on Ratchadapisek Road from 10am to 5pm. The painting and photograph exhibition will continue through May 7. The "we understand group" was founded in 2004 under the umbrella of the Aids Access Foundation.

Modern mystique

Bangkok-based, Danish-Armenian artist Elizabeth Romhild invites all to a four-day preview of her upcoming solo exhibition in Denmark.

"Cynosure", which runs from May 25 to 28 at H Gallery, will feature 10 of her recent oils.

An amalgam of Western and Eastern artistic traditions, Romhild's flowing compositions reinterpret and blur modern European art genres with Oriental mystique manifesting her own idiosyncratic evocations. Through dynamic interplay of colourful and rhythmic structuring, her art playfully expresses feminine sensuality, sensibility, control and role-playing.

H Gallery, at 201 Sathorn Road Soi 12, is open from noon to 6pm.

Call (01) 310 4428.
