ART
Walk the talk
or three weeks in May, Auckland’s CBD will become the canvas for a trail of more than 50 installations and artworks in laneways, squares, streets, trees and even hanging overhead. Starting at dusk on May 18, Auckland Walks guides will lead free City of Colour Heritage Walks during which participants will be presented with shining examples of human imagination and endeavour that will literally cast the old city in a new light. Starting at the harbour, the tour will move uptown, allowing walkers to immerse themselves in the illuminations while exploring the historical narrative contained within the central city valley. Walkers will gain insights into natural history, pre-European and colonial settlement through the city, its geography, architecture, and public art.
