Art and Place: Sussex’s Cultural Landscape This Summer
Art  
Here's our pick of the biggest exhibitions to see across Sussex this summer.

Yes, all the usual suspects are here – music, theatre, art, dance, film, literature – but it’s the capacity to surprise that marks Brighton’s festival out from the rest. Waves of culture flow across the city in May as each year a different director puts their own unique twist on an event that unfailingly seems to manage to find a way to make the cultural world sit up and take notice.
Each May // various venues
