Life/Styles 2024: a photographic project that creates an image archive by rangatahi in Ōtautahi Christchurch. 

The inaugural collection of Life/Styles brought together 12 young people from Christchurch for photography and zine workshops in September/October 2024. They documented their everyday lives with cameras, and a free public exhibition of their work was displayed at Tūranga and Ara Barber College at 166 High Street at the end of November. A limited edition collaborative zine accompanies the exhibition. 

Life/Styles 2024 explores:

• Perceptions and contributions of youth in Ōtautahi
• Self-reflection & mindfulness through photography
• Finding beauty and stories in the everyday
• How and why we document our city, and who tells those stories

Pick up your free copy of the zine from:

• The foyer of Ara Barber College, 166 High St, ChCh until 2nd December 2024
