SONGLINES Featured Events

Inspired by Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters, this one-day symposium on 10 March 2026 re-centres Indigenous knowledge systems as living epistemologies of the present. The exhibition foregrounds oral traditions not as relics of the past, but as active frameworks shaping relationships to land, memory, and cultural expression.

Building on this context, the symposium explores material cultures of Indigenous communities, artistic expressions of historically marginalised groups, and the structures that shape their representation. It reflects on exhibition histories, art historical narratives, and the nomenclatures used to categorise Indigenous worlds.
