Cultural Remediation

Earthstory produced a cultural remediation project for New Zealand's Christchurch Attractions Gondola “Time Tunnel”, liaising with Rapaki and Ngai Tahu iwi. Our goal is to bringing positivity to the visitor experience for a wide range of visitors.

As part of the remediation project for the renamed “Discovery Ride”, and with Rapaki representative Nuk Korako on board, Earthstory re-invented the visitor experience via research, writing, design, audio, video and animations, with narration by Ben Brown throughout and powerful Karanga, Karakia and Mihi te reo audio welcomes. Exhibits also include two museum-grade recreations of extinct native bird the Huia, and animated recreations of the volcanic origins of the area.
