Welcome to Culture Curve—your go-to guide to what’s on the rise and slide in culture in April 2021. 

2020 was, without a doubt, a turbulent year. Both bizarre and devastating, it was one of the most memorable in recent history, with every corner of culture—from music to work-life, fashion, sex, travel, and politics—getting shaken to the core.

Another month, another 25 new openings; or so it seems in this city with a proliferating dining scene that continues to impress and delight. There’s a long list of new places you need to know about that’ve sprung up all over the place, from a new BYO burger joint for Freo, to multiple beachfront eateries, upscaled neighbourhood pubs and even a taqueria with a basketball court. 

Obviously we've included the one about Lyn Dawson ie. the unsolved murder across the news.
