Weekly planner: quantum exhibition, film festival, and jazz gala
This week has lots of fun things to do in India.
In Bengaluru, a museum called the Science Gallery has opened a new show about quantum physics.
Quantum physics is a tricky science about tiny particles that act in strange ways.
The show has 34 artworks and experiments that you can walk into and touch, like the Observer Effect and Quantum Jungle.
The show will be there for a whole year.
People in Bengaluru can also watch short films at the Bengaluru International Short Film Festival, which also has workshops about making movies.
In New Delhi, there is a jazz gala, where musicians play jazzy music together.
There is also an evening of storytelling called Jashn-e-Barsaat in Mumbai, where six storytellers share love, funny, and everyday stories.
A black-and-white photography show called I See You will open in New Delhi later this month.
These events let people enjoy art, science, music, and stories in different cities.
Science Gallery Bengaluru opened its year-long Quantum exhibition on 8 August, featuring 34 works exploring quantum physics through art and design.
Highlights of the show include Observer Effect, Quantum Jungle, and Women in Quantum Physics, which spotlight physicists often left out of the field's history.
The 16th Bengaluru International Short Film Festival is screening over 15 short films, including Goddess, Between The Coffee Gets Cold, and Rupee, with panel discussions and workshops until 16 August.
A jazz gala at The Piano Man in New Delhi on 16 August will feature artists including Arjun Sagar Gupta, Alyse Pascoe, Ryan Cerrone, and Smiti Malik.
