A unique multimedia installation attracts Jaipur audience

After a successful run in Mumbai, New Delhi, Bengaluru and Kolkata, the Australian First Nations immersive multimedia installation ‘Walking through a Songline’ is delighting Jaipur audiences. The Australian High Commission in India is partnering with the Rajasthan International Centre and the Jaipur Literature Festival to bring this unique digital experience, based on a component of the National Museum of Australia’s internationally acclaimed exhibition Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters, to the Pink City.

The on-going exhibition, in which more than 100 artists are represented, is an Aboriginal-led exhibition developed in 2017 which takes visitors on a journey along the epic Seven Sisters Dreaming tracks, through art, Indigenous voices, innovative multimedia, and other immersive displays. Australia’s High Commissioner to India Philip Green said, “Australia is home to the world’s oldest continuous culture, and I am delighted that we are able to bring this exhibition to the Pink City as a formal part of the Jaipur Literature Festival program.”

“The exhibition will allow audiences to experience a stunning blend of storytelling and visual artistry inspired by Australia’s rich First Nations culture. I am proud that through art, we can bring our First Nations stories and knowledge to the people of India,” he added. Director, Rajasthan International Centre, Nihal Chand Goel said, “I am thankful to the Australian High Commission in India for choosing RIC as their venue in Jaipur for showcasing this important digital exhibition coming from the National Museum of Australia. As India itself is one of the oldest continuing civilizations of the world, I’m confident that the people of Jaipur and Rajasthan will connect with and appreciate the unique digital experience this exhibition offers.” Sanjoy Roy said, “We are delighted to partner with the Australian High Commission in bringing the exhibition. It’s through partnerships and the power of the arts and storytelling that we can learn about each other’s stories, lives and traditions and strengthen our bonds.”

Produced by the National Museum of Australia in partnership with Australia’s Mosster Studio, WTAS has the ongoing support of the traditional Aboriginal custodians and knowledge holders of this story. The exhibition received support from Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade as part of its flagship public diplomacy initiative, Australia now. The India tour of WTAS is supported by the Centre for Australia-India Relations (CAIR), Deakin University, Tata Bluescope Steel, and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ).
