The Seven Sisters Tjukurpa, or Dreaming creation law, holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for Aboriginal people across Australia. This epic narrative is told in numerous languages as it traverses the continent from east to west, passing through the ancestral lands of the Martu, Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara, and Yankunytjatjara peoples. Carried across generations through song, it serves both as a creation story and a map, revealing how the world came into being.

The story follows the journey of seven sisters as they flee from a persistent and magical pursuer. As they travel across the land and sky, their movements shape the environment, forming mountains, waterholes, and constellations. This narrative, known as a songline, is foundational to Aboriginal cosmology, mapping out sacred sites and illustrating the deep interconnection between people, story, and Country.

The exhibition features works by Tjungkara Ken, Michelle Cooper, Athena Nangala Granites, Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi, Muna Kulyuru, and Sonya Edney. Each artist brings their own perspective to this ancient tale, offering powerful visual interpretations of the Seven Sisters Tjukurpa. The show is currently on display at Japingka Gallery until 18 July 2025.
