The festival also runs a monthly Young at Heart Culture Club event which takes place at Erskineville Town Hall and features Q&As, refreshments and affordable tickets for seniors.

Find out as they discuss, explore and offer a vision for what it means to be a woman of colour in modern day Australia.

Created and Performed by Emele and Ayeesha,this all female cast use music, storytelling as well as movement and spoken word to traverse this topic, and are a must see!
Running until Saturday April 8th.

To understand the present and the future we must understand the past, and this exhibition curated by Dr Nicola Teffer helps us explore Sydney’s architectural past. What are the forces that have shaped our changing city and how do we value and preserve the heritage of the city we inherit?

Demolished Sydney reveals this process of urban evolution through key buildings that have been demolished and replaced. Through fragments salvaged from theatres, hotels and office blocks, alongside stunning photography, artworks and film, Demolished Sydney brings back to life the heritage of a Sydney that is gone but not forgotten.

If you are like everybody in Australia, then right now you love cooking and cooking related shows! If your kids have the bug too, then head down to Brasserie Bread bakery and cafe and get them kneading and baking at the free Kids baking classes.

The bakery has enlisted expert educators to the guide kids while you kick back and have a quiet croissant to yourself. Each little kneader will learn how to make two baked goods they can take home and all ingredients and materials are provided. Participants must be at least 5 years old, and wearing closed toe shoes. And, make sure to book in advance, the classes are frequent, but there's only room for four kids per session.

The World Is Not Flat

Curated by renowned Chen Lin and Liu Yiping, and inspired by themes explored in the Thomas L. Friedman bestseller The World is Flat (2005), this unique exhibition covers a wide variety of concepts including poetry expression, virtual creativity, idealism and speculative realism, and aims to break prejudiced ideas of the world through visually reconstructing the space and environment we live in.
As a response to Thomas L. Friedman’s assertion in “The World Is Flat” that all countries are equal in a globalised economy, 14 participating artists rebutted this argument through the display of their 20 exhibtied works.
