Tegan Murdock (Barapa): Tegan Murdock is a weaver and proud Duduroa, Yorta Yorta, Barapa and Barkindtji/Maurara woman. Tegan’s mum Margaret taught her to weave several years ago in an unbroken chain of passing down cultural tradition, knowledge and craft.
The coil weaving, as seen on her tram, has strong ties to south-eastern and Victorian Traditional Owners. Tegan envisions her weaving as a symbol of weaving culture which connects us all throughout community.

Artist Statement :
“I envisioned my weaving piece highlighted on one of the trams as a symbol of weaving culture through-out community, sharing my weaving with the world, showing that we are still here practicing our beautiful culture unapologetically.
“Each row of weaving resembling the different tracks the trams takes throughout Naarm. Each seed resembling people from all walks of life that are here to sit, listen and learn from us. Feathers representing our strong connection to country and the cleansing that our people have been doing for thousands of years keeping us strong in spirit. Weaving culture through community is what my family have been doing proudly since I was a little girl.”
