A little late on this one, but TAMS have kindly sent in the photos.
Two ACTION Buses are now sporting lovely indigenous themes.
Here’s a statement for those wanting to know more detail:
- Minister John Hargreaves officially launched two ACTION buses featuring
locally designed Indigenous artwork.
Territory and Municipal Services worked closely with the ACT Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Centre to develop artwork.
The project was been coordinated by Matilda House, along with 5 other
adults, who engaged 8 children and young people to participate in the
project and development of local Indigenous artwork.
The project provided the local community with an opportunity to come
together, to share the history and development of local Indigenous art
with the young people and children involved.
The buses have already been on show during the NAIDOC week celebrations
and provide a good opportunity to showcase local Indigenous artwork to
the Canberra community and visitors.
The artwork was artwork was painted onto a number of canvases, then
pulled together by Rob Little Digital Images in consultation with
Matilda House and screened onto vinyl wraps that were placed onto two
ACTION buses.
