Looking for insight and wisdom? ‘What I talk about when I talk about running’ by Haruki Murakami, available on Audible. Visual storytelling? ‘KAWS: Companionship in the Age of Loneliness’, order a copy from NGV. Human history? We recommend ‘Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind’, by Yuval Noah Harari.
After a series? Abstract takes you inside the minds of designers across a variety of disciplines. Need an escape? Take a virtual tour of the Louvre, explore the exhibitions and galleries from the comfort of your home. Or, throughout April you can watch free online performances of Swan Lake, by the Paris Opera.
Looking to engage with the local art community? Join artist Katerina Bak of Drop-In Life Drawing for a weekly Instagram live sketch session, social distancing-friendly. Need a project? We’ll be making a terrarium (or a few... we have some weekends free). Need some food inspiration? Here’s the easiest pumpkin risotto you’ll ever make.
Need some mood music? We recommend These Days playlist by Clear. Looking for some bangers to get you through? The Survivor playlist by Clear has you covered. Miss getting out and seeing a live show? The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is recording their live shows and uploading the performances to YouTube throughout lockdown.
