9) Ralph Kerle’s Berlin Exhibition Opening
14th September
Ich bin ein Berliner. If you didn’t read that in JFK’s voice then you should know it makes zero grammatical sense. But, thankfully for you, Ralph Kerle’s exhibition opening with a live feed from the actual Berlin Art Exhibition does not require you to possess any foreign language grammatical prowess.
8) Chin Chin Curry Club
10th September
Chin chin! Said the British as they steamrolled across India. And so, too, can you engage in the most delicious results of cultural rape and misappropriation at the Curry Club!

7) Incubate Artists Studios Launch
13th September
This one’s been gestating for a while and it’s time for this baby to burst forth – a participatory hands-on artistic group engaging in mask-making, instrument building and music-making will be…making itself all over the streets of Bankstown in a one-hour street concert.

6) Unspoken Words Festival
7th-17th September
Shhhhhh…ut up. It’s time you cleaned out your deaf hear and gave your vocal chords the night off, for this interactive art installation featuring the descriptor “In a world where tradition is everything, betrayal tears family apart. Zainab, the eldest daughter of Roula and Ahmed Mansour, has left. Out of the shattered pieces comes three different stories, three different truths and three different futures,” will provide that little bit of ignorance-shedding contemporary art…whereupon you can go back to blinding all but your base senses to the true horror of the world and screaming constantly just to shut out the madness.

2) Latin American Film Festival
6th-15th September
Echando la hueva. Nope. get off your lazy ass and grease yourself for a cultural deep-dive.
