2022
NAIDOC Week · Canberra & Sydney Light Rail
For NAIDOC Week 2022, my artwork Stronger travelled through Canberra and Sydney on light rail vehicles.
In Canberra, Transport Canberra and Canberra Metro Operations displayed the winning National NAIDOC Week poster on the side of a light rail vehicle, carrying its message along the line on Ngunnawal Country. The artwork also appeared inside the vehicles.
The campaign extended to Sydney Light Rail, where a tram wrapped in the artwork moved through the city during NAIDOC Week. TorchMedia supported the campaign with its transport partners, bringing the theme Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! into public spaces and everyday journeys.
The large-scale wraps gave the details and message of Stronger a different presence, beyond the printed poster.
