Behind the Lines 2024: No Guts, No Glory, MoAD, December 2024
Relive the thrills and spills of the 2024 political season through the lens of Australia’s best cartoonists at Behind the Lines 2024: No Guts, No Glory – officially open today at the Museum of Australian Democracy (MoAD) at Old Parliament House.
As one of Australia’s longest-running annual exhibitions, Behind the Lines celebrates the talent of this country’s leading cartoonists as it gathers their work to present a unique time capsule of the year in Australian politics.
Showcasing the work of 40 artists from across Australia, this year’s exhibition, No Guts, No Glory, uses the passion and spectacle of sport as a powerful metaphor to explore the key political issues and current affairs that have defined 2024.
