Songlines: Tracking The Seven Sisters (expired event)

Rich with Aboriginal voices and tangible expressions of the songlines, the exhibition features paintings, sculptures, ceramics and a multimedia exhibition initiated by Aboriginal elders stories.

Rich with Aboriginal voices and tangible expressions of the songlines, the exhibition features paintings, sculptures, ceramics and state-of-the-art multimedia. These artworks are portals to the deserts of the Martu, the Ngaanyatjarra and the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara peoples. Highly immersive and experiential, visitors will journey along the ancestral routes of the Seven Sisters as they flee across deserts, pursued relentlessly by a lusty sorcerer known as Nyiru or Yurla. This is an epic tale of tragedy and comedy, obsession and trickery, desire and loss, solidarity and sorrow — a universal drama played out in the night sky by Orion and the Pleiades, with a terrestrial creation story where the land has a starring role.
