This is the audio of an article that I wrote that was just published in The Press on street art and what it says about identity and new stories being told in Õtautahi Christchurch. The orgins directly relate to Seeds Podcast as I had a conversation on Street Art with Dr Reuben Woods a while ago and always thought the topic would make a great article. So I wrote it up and this was published on 8 June 2024 as the lead article in the Mainlander section of The Press. This is the audio of me reading out the article.
