1 / 2Berlin Wall Pieces
π Christchurch Central City, Canterbury
Two original sections of the Berlin Wall are installed in Rauora Park in central Christchurch. The slabs, relocated from Berlin, carry interpretive boards explaining the wall's history.
Had the opportunity to paint on these remnants of the Berlin Wall. Projects like this remind us and keep us talking about the significant history regarding the Berlin wall sections and at the same time supports local creative artists!

Overview
Berlin Wall Pieces at Rauora Park in Christchurch Central City presents two authentic segments of the structure that divided East and West Berlin from 1961 to 1989. The sections were installed in November 2019 to mark the 30th anniversary of the wall's fall and are accompanied by interpretive boards providing historical context. Local artists refresh the painted surface every few months, creating an ongoing connection between the historical artefacts and Christchurch's creative community.
