Seven young creatives will have their art exhibited in the central city as part of SCAPE Public Art’s Re:ACTIVATE project.

Re:ACTIVATE promotes the creative arts by mentoring aspiring creatives and artists. Students from across Christchurch were given “rock” as a design brief, which was derived from the classic game Rock, Paper, Scissors (the overall theme for this year’s SCAPE Public Art Season).

A record number of entries were received for Re:ACTIVATE, with Tessa Marshall (Sticks of Rock), Alex Sands (We Are One!), Emily Higham (Physiological Manipulation), Helena McCondach (Negotiation), and Rosetta Brown, Hazel White and Georgina Jolly (Strength in Sisterhood) coming out on top.

Each of the works will be installed on the corner of Cashel and High streets, where they will be on show as part of SCAPE Public Art’s upcoming festival, which runs from October 5 to November 15.
