The man behind the 185 empty chairs earthquake memorial, artist Peter Majendie, is now putting up a series of “quiet spaces”.
Majendie has built several cardboard boxes for people to use as prayer or contemplative rooms.
Designed as a “quiet space”, the boxes will be placed around the city for use by the public.
“They’ve been called everything – containers, god boxes. They can be whatever they want to be to each person. They can be used as changing rooms for all I mind,” he said.
“I just thought there was a need for a place of reflection in Christchurch. Even if you have no religious affiliations, you can just sit and have some time out.”
