New exhibition showcases Addington’s past, present and future

A new exhibition titled Addington Discovery has opened at Our City O-Tautahi.

The exhibition offers a narrative of life in Addington, by exploring the richness of the community’s past, present and future through a variety of mediums – oral history recordings, photography and objects.

Addingotn Discovery is a collaborative exhibition made possible by funding from Spreydon/Heathcote Community Board and Christchurch City Council; and as a result of a community project held as part of Heritage Week 2005.

Our City O-Tautahi is located in the original Municipal Chambers on the corner of Oxford Terrace and Worcester Boulevard (opposite Rydges Hotel).
