21 November - 30 January 2026
360imx @ NUS Central Library
Follow in the footsteps of the Seven Sisters
Experience the immersive nature of a songline in this multi-sensory digital installation.
Songlines, or Dreaming tracks, map the routes of Ancestral beings as they travelled across Australia, creating the land and its people.
Walking through a Songline allows audiences of all ages to immerse themselves in a space where paintings come to life, stories are visualised, and ancient knowledge is shared in a striking and artistic way.
Surrender your understandings of time and space, and experience Indigenous storytelling as this ancient narrative comes alive through new technology.
Walking through a Songline, produced by the National Museum of Australia in partnership with Mosster Studio, has the ongoing support of the traditional First Nations Anangu custodians and knowledge holders of this story.
Seven Sisters across the World
The Seven Sisters songline is an ancient story of resilience and family strength, combining practical information about how to survive in a desert landscape with moral teachings about right and wrong ways to behave.
Seen around the world as the Pleiades, explore how the Seven Sisters feature in culture and stories from North America to Southeast Asia.
Learn about the centuries-old trade relationship between Aboriginal Australia and our region, guided by the stars and winds.
