Trams Turned into Moving Galleries

Six new trams in Melbourne are rolling through the streets transformed into vibrant moving galleries, showcasing powerful Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. Curated by Taungurung artist Kate ten Buuren, the project—part of the Rising festival—spotlights Blak imagination, with each tram featuring a different artist’s work, turning commutes into cultural experiences. From Aunty Marlene Gilson’s storytelling canvases to the bold visions of Natasha Carter, Mitch Mahoney, Jenna Mayilema Lee, Zena Zada Cumpston, and Sonja Hodge, these trams are more than transport—they’re rolling declarations of culture, identity, and future. Look up next time you’re out—these are art on wheels, and they’re here to stay for a whole year. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
