PREMIAIR REVEAL COKE NO SUGAR INDIGENOUS LIVERY
PremiAir Racing has unveiled a special Coca-Cola No Sugar Racing livery for Chris Pither in Darwin which has been teamed with Indigenous artwork.
Pither runs a Coke backed ZB Commodore in the Supercars Championship and this weekend (Supercars first Indigenous round) will run a Coca-Cola No Sugar machine designed by Indigenous artist Kiewa Tya Austin-Rioli.
The #22 machine was revealed in Darwin at the Landmark at Gateway this afternoon, with both Pither and Austin-Rioli in attendance.
21-year-old Austin-Rioli is a proud Gunditjmara and Tiwi Islander woman who owns and runs the Sweet Water Art design studio.
“With this artwork, I wanted to represent the unity of our people, so the artwork shows the connections that Aboriginal people have with each other all over Australia,” Kiewa said.
“There are connections with family, cultural ways and through the land and song lines. This piece also shows the strength of those connections with all of our people.”

“It’s great to be working with our partner Coca-Cola Europacific Partners to use the power of the Coke brand to shine a light on an incredibly talented young artist this Indigenous Round.
“Kiewa’s high-impact livery design completely reimagines Coca-Cola’s iconic logo whilst honouring her connection to country.”
“The Top End is a great place, I’m happy to be back and to officially celebrate First Nations people is special.”
