Behind the Lines: The Year’s Best Political Cartoons for 2019

8 February to 15 March 2020

Each year, the Behind the Lines exhibition features a broad selection of political cartoons from around Australia, providing an insight into the year in Australian politics. It celebrates the role of political cartoonists in Australia and highlights the power that their drawings have in contributing to our daily political and social discourse.

Framed by the world of rock music and under this year’s theme song of The Greatest Hits Tour, Australia’s leading political cartoonists amped up the satire on 2019’s greatest political hits. This year, Behind the Lines features over 80 artworks of striking artistic quality from over 30 political cartoonists from across Australia.
