Urbanscapes 2018 is kicking off on 3 till 18 November 2018 with a new theme, #REIMAGINEKL. Partnering with U Mobile as the presenter for the second year running, enjoy diverse experiences centered around accessible arts, ideas, and music all set against the Kuala Lumpur city backdrop. Whether it is within heritage buildings or rejuvenated public spaces, the activities will spur interaction, conversations, and participation from Medan Pasar to Petaling Street.<\/p>\n

\"Urbanscapes<\/p>\n

Adrian Yap, founder and festival director of Urbanscapes, says that the festival is about encouraging all to reimagine, reconnect with, and reclaim the city: “16 years on, we would like to think of Urbanscapes as the signature Kuala Lumpur event. We work towards bringing together an eclectic mix of art, design, and music creatives and collectives to inspire interaction and participation of a community made of up people of diverse backgrounds. This year we wanted to take over even more public and private spaces all across the city. Be it Chin Woo Stadium, Medan Pasar or our mainstay Urbanscapes House at 2 Hang Kasturi, the festival content will definitely inspire conversations and many Insta moments.”<\/p>\n

A key highlight of Urbanscapes and part of U Mobile’s UNLIMITED GROOVES initiative, U Mobile is presenting its own UNLIMITED GROOVES FESTIVAL, a mini-festival within the festival featuring: Wolf Alice (‘Bros’, ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’), the North London alt-rock four-piece reimagining dream pop and grunge with their sterling sophomore effort ‘Visions Of A Life’; and Brooklyn’s Bodega (\u2018Jack In Titanic\u2019, \u2018How Did This Happen?!\u2019), an art-rock unit blending kraut-y post-punk sounds with sharp and astute social observations. Also fronting the mini-festival are: Se So Neon (\u2018A Long Dream\u2019, \u2018The Wave\u2019), the South Korean indie phenomenon peddling quirky pop-rock steeped in blues and jazz; and Phum Viphurit (\u2018Lover Boy\u2019, \u2018Long Gone\u2019), the Bangkok-based singer-songwriter deft with sunny, wistful sounds of lo-fi funk and folk.<\/p>\n\r\n
