Time Out says

Experience more than 60,000 years of interconnected creativity at this exhibition of works from leading Indigenous artists

Explore Indigenous connection to cultural legacy and the physical, cultural and spiritual lines that link First Nations practices and narratives across Australia. This exhibition at the Powerhouse has been curated by the award-winning head of design at Bangarra Dance Theatre, Murri man Jacob Nash.

Linear features ten Indigeous practitioners from across the country, working in diverse artistic mediums. This includes photographic work from the renowned Wayne Quilliam, an interactive augmented reality experience of ancient Indigenous communication practices by Mikaela Jade, and Cairns-based artist Bernard Singleton’s impressive installations of 20 Galga (spears) and ten Milay (spear throwers).

At the centre of the show is a massive map showing the lines that connect the country, instilled with meaning beyond a mark on a page. This piece by Ngarinyin Elder David Mowaljarlai is the inspiration for the visual representations of language and culture in Linear
