Victoria's iconic trams will once again be transformed into moving works of Indigenous art with the next round of Art Trams.

The first Art Tram will showcase Wurundjeri Elder William Barak's Corroboree — a 1897 painting of women in possum skin cloaks acquired and returned to Victoria by the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation in 2022.

Further artwork will be featured from several prominent Victorian artists, each of whom brings a unique perspective on their culture and connection to Country.

They include Kelly Koumalatsos (Wergaia, Wemba Wemba), Maree Clarke (Yorta Yorta, Wamba Wamba, Mutti Mutti, Boonwurrung), Jennifer Mullett (Gunaikurnai, Bidawal, Ngarigo), and Patsy Smith (Taungurung).

The works will also feature collaborative pieces with Elders Cynthia Hardie (Yorta Yorta), Rochelle Patten (Yorta Yorta, Wamba Wamba, Baraparapa), Laurel Robinson (Yorta Yorta, Wurundjeri) and Amy Briggs (Yorta Yorta).

On Tuesday, RISING Senior Curator Kimberley Moulton and Minister for Treaty and First Peoples Natalie Hutchins unveiled the tram featuring William Barak's work.

"It has been a privilege to bring together the First Peoples curatorial group who are deeply community connected with extensive experience in contemporary art, culture and public installation to work on Art Trams 2025," Ms Moulton said.

"We are honoured to be working with them and to celebrate the living, strong and proud First Peoples' Culture of Victoria."

Ms Hutchins added: "Featuring First Nations artwork and artists on the world-famous Melbourne trams is a powerful way to celebrate the history, culture and contributions of Aboriginal Victorians here in Melbourne."

The art trams will ride over Naarm/Melbourne's network for 12 months, with passengers able to learn more about the works and artists via QR codes onboard.
