Behind the Lines Print
Monday, 25 July 2016 23:03

Behind the Lines is an exhibition, running until 25 September, which celebrates the role of satire and political cartoonists in Australia and highlights the power of their drawings. With a selection of 80 of the best cartoons from 39 cartoonists, this year’s exhibition displays some of Australia’s most controversial cartoons that test the boundaries of free speech and the freedom of the press. In a break with tradition the exhibition does not just celebrate one ‘Cartoonist of the Year’, but celebrates the community of political cartoonists in Australia, in memory of the tragedy at Charlie Hebdo. At the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Conacher Street.
