Walking through a Songline

Walking through a Songline

Walking through a Songline is a pop-up digital experience based on part of the National Museum of Australia’s internationally acclaimed exhibition Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters. Songline or Dreaming tracks, map the routes of Ancestral beings as they travelled across Australia, creating the land and its people.

Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters showcases five First Nations songlines from Australia’s Western and Central Deserts. It uses over 300 paintings and photographs, objects, song, dance and multimedia to narrate the story of the Seven Sisters and their creation of the continent as they travelled from west to east.

Walking through a Songline was produced by the National Museum in partnership with Mosster Studio.

It has the ongoing support of the traditional Aboriginal custodians and knowledge holders of this story. Visitors can make their way through a multi-sensory digital installation in which they can immerse themselves in ancient Aboriginal Australian knowledge communicated through new technology.

This immersive multimedia installation Walking Through a Songline will be open to the public, free of charge, from 21st March to 16th April at The Factory in Ho Chi Minh City and then at the Vietnam Women's Museum in Hanoi from 28th April to 21st May.
