PROJECT: 
Samuel Walsh is conducting a research project around the past, present and future states of artist run initiatives and alternative spaces in New Zealand.
As part of this project he will be facilitating a series of conversations between local and international artist run initiatives to explore themes of community, curation and space. Join us on the 27th of October for the first of these cultural exchanges: ’If we just keep digging we’ll end up in New Zealand’.
Part informal chat, part mass interview  during the residency we have shared food and stories, discuss art making and space, and finally found some solitude in the similarities (and differences) that exist between morphing cities.
