From Friday (26th), you can host one of these brooches on an urban adventure around Christchurch. Each of brooches have been crafted from materials diverted from the city's demolition processes. The idea to see how these bits of the city, attached to our bodies, might alter the way we experience, engage or think about the city. The idea is not to memorialise the devastating events that have taken place, but to test ways of reactivating and reoccupying the city.

Remember your camera (a snap camera or phone is easiest) and comfortable shoes.
