Shadow puppets

Join our club

The Asia Society Australia Culture Club is your weekly dose of distraction. Bringing you the best recommendations of new and classic literature, films, television, podcasts and more, from and on Asia. 

Drawing from a different country each week, the club is an opportunity to step outside your usual newsfeed and discover new and classic stories from across the region. Each week features a guest programmer, selected from our network of members, experts, staff and stakeholders.
