This is a vacant lot that’s been painted and decorated like a monopoly board along with a digger to make it more authentically like Christchurch (nice touch!). You can find it on the corner of Manchester and Dundas Streets.

Continue reading →: Reconstruction: Conversations on a CityThis is an exhibition that is currently on Worcester Street. It’s an interesting exhibition by the Christchurch Art Gallery which tracks the development of Christchurch over the years. One of the most striking images for me, was of the Canterbury Provincial Buildings surrounded by swamp land.

I’m not sure how long it has been there but probably not long. I’m guessing it’s in response to the red zone announcements that were made regarding parts of the Port Hills.…
