About SONGLINES

SONGLINES presents a vivid collection of works by First Nations artists who currently are based in Swan Hill, Victoria. This exhibition honours their significant and evolving contributions to the Australian artistic landscape, enriching our understanding through shared creation and storytelling.

Though stylistically diverse, these artists are bound by their shared heritage and the enduring resonance of the Songlines – the ancestral pathways and narratives that intricately link them to Country and community. Through this exhibition, we stand grateful for the invitation to share in this profound cultural exchange.

To provide context for these contemporary expressions, the exhibition incorporates historical pieces by past Elders and community members, illuminating the artistic traditions that have moulded and inspired this collective. These foundational works underscore the unbroken lineage of First Nations artistic practice.
