FROM THE GROUND UP Christchurch | Photos by Luke Shirlaw.

“December last year I arrived in Christchurch, New Zealand just in time to catch the tail end of ‘From The Ground Up’ festival.

Almost immediately I could feel this really special vibe in Christchurch. After the quakes, the local people have really come together in the spirit of rebuilding the city and a lot of cool, creative shit is popping off.

‘From The Ground Up’ is testament to the resilience and do it yourself attitude of the people in Christchurch. Much respect to Holly, Leeyah and Jacob for caring enough to build.

Here’s some of the photographs I shot during FTGU. Stay tuned for final artwork photos next week.” –Dymskov.
