Through large-scale installations, atmospheric projections, soundscapes, and digital storytelling, ‘Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters’ invites you to walk alongside the Sisters as they travel across land and sky – a journey carried through song, memory, and community.
Songlines offers a rare opportunity to experience an ancient story of Australia’s indigenous communities that continues to live, travel, and evolve.

Last evening, KNMA's presentation at the Humayun's Tomb Museum came alive as the travelling exhibition, Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters, opened in Delhi.
The evening unfolded as a layered cultural encounter. An Inma ceremony by the First Nations Cultural Ambassadors offered a powerful grounding in the living traditions at the heart of Songlines, while a live musical performance by Padma Shri Naga folk musician Guru Rewben Mashangva, singer-songwriter Alem Mahukva, and folk-rock band Dashugs wove in soundscapes that echoed themes of land, movement, and memory.
Visitors then stepped into the immersive world of the Seven Sisters, following their journey across vast desert landscapes through story, light, sound, and motion. Presented by KNMA in collaboration with the National Museum of Australia and Humanyun’s Tomb Museum, the exhibition offers a rare and deeply resonant encounter with the knowledge systems and enduring connections to land held by Australia's First Peoples.
The opening brought together Australian High Commissioner H.E. Mr Philip Green OAM, KNMA Founder and Chairperson Mrs Kiran Nadar, Dr Jilda Andrews from the National Museum of Australia, Mr Ratish Nanda from the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, and KNMA Director and Chief Curator Roobina Karode.
