Behind the Lines 2025: ‘Are We Rolling?’ celebrates the best political cartoons of 2025.
Featuring established and emerging cartoonists from across Australia, this exhibition highlights the significant contribution they make to cultural and political debates through witty, insightful and often poignant satirical drawings.
The 2025 Behind the Lines theme is the cinema, acknowledging that, like some of our favourite movies, 2025 was full of thrills and spills, romance and heartbreak, with plenty of unexpected plot twists. Australia’s cartoonists and illustrators have tackled many of the issues that made news, including the federal election, the cost of living, energy policy, interest rates, housing security, the economy, climate change and stories from overseas.
