Sydney: The Big Shift
Issue 14:3 | September 1994
Editor: Joanna Mendelssohn.
Sydney is the home of the Australia Council, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Biennale of Sydney and influential art colleges, linked to universities. This edition looks into these at times incestuous relations, the city’s unique geography (from the beach to the Blue Mountains) and its diverse communities (from the ethnically diverse sub-cultures of Western Sydney to the influential Gay and Lesbian community that drives Sydney’s annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras).
