A huge central city art installation will kick off PRIDE Week in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
ChristchurchNZ are pleased to be supporting PRIDE Week 2021, and the activations and events happening across the city from 5-14 March showcasing and embracing our diverse community.
A range of city activations and events are happening throughout the week, kicking off on Friday 5 March with the unveiling of Colourful Cashel.
The #colourfulcashel installation spans the entire length of City Mall and celebrates the city’s LGBTQIA+ community. The work was designed by Akira Le Fevre, a member of the local PRIDE Committee, and includes a Port Hills sillouete.
The work was funded by The Christchurch Foundation, Christchurch City Council, and various co-funders from across the city.
It includes retail window displays and selfie spots, enabling the business community and individuals to showcase their support for the community.
Andrew Turner, Christchurch Deputy Mayor, said he was pleased to see Ōtautahi Christchurch celebrating diversity, inclusion and its LGBTQIA+ community in such a colourful, high profile and open way.
