6) Biennale of Sydney Superposition – Equilibrium and Engagement
16th March-11th June
In an extra-concentrated shot of culture, the 21st Biennale of Sydney will hold daily guided 45 minute tours throughout the week providing you with enough knowledge of a 12-week-long exhibition to sustain polite condescension at any gathering for the rest of the year.

8th-20th May
Prepare your loved ones’ ears because your accent’s about to get real crooked, see. Straight from the festival circuit, Palace Cinemas is exhibiting American (both classic and indie) film at its best. Relax, partner/dude, the Sydney Film Festival next month should set your ‘r’s back to normal.
