The efficient but
impersonal changes
Frederico later brings.
Tram stop signs made from broken
boat oars and shovels
A system that connects to the hinge that pulls
the tram, generating a melody that signals
Aida’s arrival 10 minutes ahead.
A tram stop created from a crack on the mountainside
A public fountain where you can
often find townspeople, led by Aida,
sitting and settling disputes
