The many arts organisations left homeless by the Christchurch earthquake, including the Christchurch Arts Festival and the Symphony Orchestra, have received good news this week from Creative New Zealand. We hear from CEO of Creative New Zealand Stephen Wainwright, manager of the Christchurch Arts Festival Steph Walker, and James Caygill from the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra.
How Christchurch museums, galleries and libraries which store many of NZ's treasures have fared after the earthquake.
A recorded conversation about the arts in Christchurch, facilitated by Rosalee Jenkin (UC CEISMIC) and featuring Sophie Davis (UC Masters student and co-director of North Projects), Lara Strongman (Senior Curator at Christchurch Art Gallery), Gaby Montejo (visual art practitioner and teacher) and Wongi Wilson (street artist and professional graffiti artist). The podcast is the first in a series of conversations hosted by UC CEISMIC about Christchurch, five years on from the February 22 earthquake.
