Join us to celebrate the launch of 'The streets are paved with water' a publication by Olivia Chamberlain and Sam Towse inspired by their show at Ō Papa gallery in 2024.
  

Responding to central Ōtautahi, they embrace walking as a methodology, each taking cues from their nuanced observations of the city, and reimagining its urban vocabulary.
  
This publication brings together a newly commissioned text by Orissa Keane alongside a series of the artists' research images, and Owen Spargo's documentation of the show. A limited number of copies will be available at the launch.
    
Thanks to Christchurch City Council and Creative New Zealand and all who have made this publication come to life.
