Novelists, actors, artists and singers share their New Year’s culture resolutions.
Forget fitness, career or finance goals, the most important New Year resolutions to make are those that relate to culture. Is this the year you finally read Sally Rooney’s novels or organise your bookshelf by colour? Maybe you’ll watch every film nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, or buy your first piece of Australian art. We asked actors, writers, journalists and artists to share their watching, listening, reading and visiting goals for 2023.
I will keep the library books separate. While I’m organising my shelves, I resolve to finally set aside a dedicated space for those books that are mine only temporarily.

Seeing First Nations women and girls view their portraits for the first time. It’s been an utter privilege working on a major photo media project supported by Lendlease since 2016, which was when I got up home to the Northern Territory.

I want to get a handle on AI chatbots and how to make them work for me. I had a go at getting one to write this piece for. It suggested that I “start a monthly book club, cut back on my sugar intake to improve my overall well-being and get a new hobby like painting or drawing”. Frankly, that all sounds like something your psych or your mother would nag you into doing. If it had offered to audit my bookcase, I would have been impressed.Craig Silvey will finally finish The Count of Monte Cristo.
I’ll be honest – I’m not a “big one” for New Year’s resolutions. I’m more of a “make resolutions as desired” kinda gal, and they’re almost always lovely and loose, with lots of room for interpretation and correction as I go.
