When you think of street art what is front of mind? Banksy? Well how about the homeless, people who actually call the streets home because they have nowhere else to live. In Ĺtautahi Christchurch, to mark World Homeless Day, the homeless are holding their own street exhibition. Here in New Zealand we call them the Kaewa or wanderers a term of respect for those struggling to find permanent shelter because of hardship, mental health issues or addiction. The project has been organised by Housing First and runs until Sunday the 15th of October https://www.housingfirstchch.co.nz/.../World-Homeless.../ partnering with The White Room Creative Space, Life in Vacant Spaces, Creative Junk and Telling Lives to bring you this event. #homeless #housingfirst #whiteroom #lifeinvacantspaces #tellinglives #christchurchcitycouncil body content of your post goes here.

As part of Christchurch's Heritage Festival St.Michaels and All Angels is offering guided talks and the opportunity to view some of this city's most significant victorian art work - its stained glass windows. The Church has just completed the restoration of it's Rose window an opportunity to go behind the scenes and look at the ancient craft of stained glass creation and restoration. While St Michael's is dwarfed by the large English and European cathedral's none share the unique flavour of its native timbers and colonial settler aspirations. Yes colonialism, has had many negative impacts, but these early English settlers also brought so many positives when they founded our city, St. Michaels and All Angels holds much of that story in its architecture and cultural referencing. It is a hidden heritage gem.
