Don&#8217;t know where to begin? Here are our top festival picks.

Einder

Melbourne Town Hall

An image of 'Einder'. A sheer fabric sheet that is mid fall against a moody lit ceiling. It almost looks like smoke pillowing.

MATRIA

Royal Exhibition Building

An interior of a building is completely wrapped from ceiling to floor in a pink/red soft, draped plastic. The plastic crinkles in areas showing its personality. There are light panels underneath the plastic that light up the installation.

Marie Davidson / OK EG / KDV Performance Group with Hamill Industries & Tayhana

OK EG members sit side by side against a black background. The left is wearing a bright orange distressed top and the right is wearing a patagonia jumper.

KDV Performance Group performing CORTEX in front of a crowd, against a blue background.

Ostro x Einder

Julia Ostro stands in her kitchen with her left hand on her hip, smiling into the camera. She is wearing a blue and red patterned top.

State Library Victoria

An abstract, psychedelic mix of colours: dark blue, red, white, light blue, yellow and orange that almost look like dragons intertwining.

DELIRI

Burdi Burdi

Evan Walker Bridge

A foggy, heavily red-toned image of the sea horizon. There are dark shadows/clouds in the top left hand corner that represent mystery.

The Starterpack

Freebie Finder

Moritz von Oswald sits casually on a chair, wearing a navy blue suit, in his studio. It's filled with art deco furniture and hifi music listening equipment.

Deep Listeners

A gorgeous colourful collection of glass trinkets, some shells, blue glass flowers, glass koala, glass blue bird, assembled in a maximalist fashion, set against a black background.

The Local

Ryoji Ikeda stands in the middle of the stage, there is a blurred crowd at the bottom of the image. One of his works appears in the background as he appears to be mid-performance. He is wearing an "ultratronics" tee shirt, the text is in white on a black tee. He is also wearing a black cap and his face is not visible.

The Future Focused

Laurel Halo stands against a grainy blue/grey gradient wearing a grey suit and white shirt. Her vibrant red hair flies out to the side and swoops over her face. Her left hand is in her pocket, casually.

The Explorer

A man with a cap stands on the very right hand side of the frame holding a stick and stands facing the left hand side. Cross dissolved underneath is a picture of fire with trees burning.

The Connoisseur

A droid (similar to RD2D) poses standing with their legs crossed over and their right hand lifted to the sky, similar to vogueing. They are in a complete white space standing on a podium.
