The Cuba Street Project

Cuba Streets vibrant entrepreneurial and creative history has been captured in this Trans media project,
using photographs, live commentary and online essays to tell the story of the street, its people and
buildings over the last 173 years.

Snippets of Cuba Streets past will be shown using photographs and written stories installed in thirteen
locations throughout the street, using information panels, AV screens, the internet and live commentary.
This work is the artist’s response to the uncertainty hanging over the streets architectural heritage as a
result of earthquake strengthening requirements.

“Heritage is more than just bricks and mortar; it is also about the people who make up the community and
a new history of Cuba St is unfolding. I’m inviting people to take part in shaping it by contributing to the
project, and the conversation, by visiting the web site and commenting via the blog pages.”
