Kardi Munaintya Tram

Description:

The Kardi Munaintya (Emu Dreaming) Tram super graphic is a living work of art symbolising the importance of Aboriginal art and culture in a contemporary setting.

The design recognises and celebrates the diversity of Aboriginal cultures in South Australia by acknowledging all thirty-nine major Aboriginal Nations/Language Groups whose country is either fully or partially located in the state of South Australia.

In the spirit of reconciliation, the arrangement of concentric circles symbolise the diversity of the tram stops/meeting places along the Glenelg to Adelaide Entertainment Centre tram line.

The kardi design celebrates the living culture of the Kaurna people. Kardi footprints are shown symbolically meandering across the Kaurna/Adelaide landscape. The kardi is a significant totem animal for the Kaurna people.
