# Event Details - **Event Name**: After Dark, Downtown Kuala Lumpur Moves in Light - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 08 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Sun, 17 May, 2026 at 11:30 pm (+08:00) - **Event Description**: After dark, the laneways of Downtown Kuala Lumpur will take on a different rhythm as Warung TERANG brings projection mapping out of large-scale building facades into a mobile, artist-led experience. Unfolding from 8 to 17 May 2026, 6 artworks will move across locations including Jalan Tun H.S Lee, Jalan Sang Guna, Muzium Telekom and River of Life, inviting the public to explore light, sound and cultural stories up close as the experience appears, shifts and re-emerges across the city. Warung TERANG is developed by Filamen as an ongoing exploration of how contemporary digital art can exist freely within the city, moving beyond fixed installations into formats that invite closer interaction between the public, the artworks and artists. With support from Think City, Warung TERANG is one of the programmes under the KL Fest. The initiative also seeks to draw audiences back into overlooked urban spaces, reactivating areas that often fade after dark. Guided by the theme of pasar, Warung TERANG takes cues from Southeast Asia’s marketplaces – places defined not just by goods but by the constant exchange of ideas, conversations and cultural encounters. When Behind-the-Scenes Meet the StreetsTaking place over two weekends, Warung TERANG brings together daytime workshops and evening street activations, where projection mapping comes alive alongside REAVANG – an open platform for artists and creatives to experiment with visuals and sound in a live urban setting.  As night sets in, Downtown KL shifts into pockets of colour, sound and activities, encouraging people to slow down, walk through the city and rediscover spaces they would normally pass by. Artists remain on-site, allowing visitors to get a behind-the-scenes look, have conversations and engage directly with the work as it happens – breaking the usual distance between projection mapping and audience.  The inaugural edition of Warung TERANG brings together Southeast Asian artists, including Fairuz Sulaiman of Sekolah Main Wayang (Malaysia), known for blending traditional storytelling with    contemporary media, visual collective Fonetikar (Malaysia), multimedia artist Tan Ji Kean (Malaysia) and Indonesian collectives and artists featuring The Fox, The Folks, Story of Karana and Hue, drawing from the lived experiences and everyday exchanges found in the marketplace, where stories will be reimagined through light, visuals, audio and live interaction.  “In a pasar, it’s never just about what is being sold – it’s about the people, the conversations and the shared stories that move through the space. With Warung TERANG, we wanted to bring that into Downtown KL, where audiences are not just watching, but becoming part of the experience – rediscovering familiar places and forming meaningful new memories along the way,” said Abdul Shakir, Co-Founder of Filamen. KL Fest runs from 6 to 31 May 2026 across Downtown Kuala Lumpur, activating heritage buildings, streets and public spaces through more than 80 events and over 700 hours of programming - the majority of which are free to the public. Organised by Think City in collaboration with Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), supported by the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Territories Department, the festival forms part of a broader effort to reimagine the city through culture, with activations like Warung TERANG bringing audiences closer to the streets through more intimate, ground-level encounters. The festival is held in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026, Warisan KL, and Kuala Lumpur's designation as a UNESCO Creative City of Design. DETAILS OF WARUNG TERANGWEEK 18 May 20268:00PM – 11:30PMRiver of LifeTan Ji KeanREAVANG9 May 20268:00PM – 11:30PMMuzium TelekomStory of KaranaHigh Street StudioThe Fox, The Folks10 May 20269:30PM – 11:30PMPucks CoffeeFairuz SulaimanJalan Sang GunaREAVANGWEEK 215 May 20269:30PM – 11:30PMPucks CoffeeHueJalan Sang GunaREAVANG 16 May 20268:00PM – 11:30PMMuzium TelekomFonetikarHigh Street StudioREAVANG 17 May 20268:00PM – 11:30PM River of Life REAVANG FonetikarTan Ji KeanADMISSIONFree to the Public Warung TERANG is organised by Filamen and presented as part of KL Fest. It is also made possible by Yayasan TM, Digital Tech Incubator, Humblezing and RUBIX. Follow Warung TERANG and Filamen on Instagram and Facebook at @wearefilamen for the latest updates and behind-the-scenes moments.  - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/events/after-dark-downtown-kuala-lumpur-moves-in-light-tickets/80003468999481 - **Event Categories**: Festivals, Art, Workshops, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: MYR - **Ticket informations**: - ticket_1 — 0.00 MYR ## Event venue details - **lat**: 0 - **long**: 0 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Event Photo 1 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ef20d095959.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 2 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ef20d05c287.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 3 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ef20d05917d.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 4 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ef20d05a48d.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 5 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ef20d00ae58.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 6 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ef20cfbf236.jpg ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is After Dark, Downtown Kuala Lumpur Moves in Light being held? - **A:** After Dark, Downtown Kuala Lumpur Moves in Light takes place on Fri, 08 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Sun, 17 May, 2026 at 11:30 pm at . - **Q**: Who is organizing After Dark, Downtown Kuala Lumpur Moves in Light? - **A:** After Dark, Downtown Kuala Lumpur Moves in Light is organized by Chang Yan Choo. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "After Dark, Downtown Kuala Lumpur Moves in Light", "image": "https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/thumb69ef20c21409f.jpg", "startDate": "2026-05-08T20:00:00+08:00", "endDate": "2026-05-17T23:30:00+08:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/events/after-dark-downtown-kuala-lumpur-moves-in-light-tickets/80003468999481", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "name": "", "addressLocality": "", "addressRegion": "" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "0", "longitude": "0" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "After dark, the laneways of Downtown Kuala Lumpur will take on a different rhythm as Warung TERANG brings projection mapping out of large-scale building facades into a mobile, artist-led experience. Unfolding from 8 to 17 May 2026, 6 artworks will move across locations including Jalan Tun H.S Lee, J", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "MYR", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-27", "availabilityEnds": "2026-05-17T23:30:00+08:00", "validFrom": "2026-04-27", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/events/after-dark-downtown-kuala-lumpur-moves-in-light-tickets/80003468999481" }, { "@type": "Offer", "priceCurrency": "MYR", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-27", "availabilityEnds": "2026-05-17T23:30:00+08:00", "validFrom": "2026-04-27", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/events/after-dark-downtown-kuala-lumpur-moves-in-light-tickets/80003468999481", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "name": "Free" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Chang Yan Choo", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/chang-yan-choo/25198442" } ] } ] ```
