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.
