Local culture
Street art in Christchurch
Christchurch has evolved into a global street art capital, especially following the 2011 earthquakes when murals brought colour and hope back to the CBD. From the massive pieces in the High Street precinct to the hidden gems in Sydenham, street art is part of our city's DNA. Our workshops reflect this local heritage, teaching students how the 'Garden City' became a canvas for resilience. 🎨
