The ‘Walking Through a Songline’ exhibition has drawn audiences across India, offering a striking exploration of Australia’s First Nations culture. Now showcased in Jaipur, this immersive digital installation invites visitors to experience the ancient stories of the Seven Sisters Dreaming tracks in an interactive setting.

The exhibition is open to the public at the Rajasthan International Centre (RIC) in collaboration with the Jaipur Literature Festival. Running daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM until 18tFebruary 2025, it presents ancestral journeys, known as Songlines, through vivid visuals and rich storytelling.

Developed by the National Museum of Australia alongside Mosster Studio, the exhibition has been created with the guidance of traditional custodians and knowledge holders. Through digital art, visitors can step into a world where paintings animate, oral traditions take shape, and centuries-old wisdom is shared through contemporary mediums.

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.

Thank you for your support.

Best wishes,
