Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters
Margo Neale (editor)
This stunning companion to the National Museum of Australia's blockbuster Indigenous-led exhibition, 'Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters', explores the history and meaning of songlines, the Dreaming or creation tracks that crisscross the Australian continent, of which the Seven Sisters songline is one of the most extensive.
Through stunning artworks (many created especially for the exhibition), story, and in-depth analysis, the book will provide the definitive resource for those interested in finding out more about these complex pathways of spiritual, ecological, economic, cultural, and ontological knowledge — the stories 'written in the land'.
