The Offcut Series
Rekindle is excited to invite artists, designers and makers to submit ideas, which utilise reclaimed timber. The successful work will be installed in a vacant ground floor shop on
New Regent Street. The first exhibition has been installed into shop 6, and the street opens to the public from Saturday 20th April. These vacant shops will be tenanted soon and we are taking this opportunity to utilise the spaces for creative projects. In accordance with the rapidly changing nature of the city, we are looking for quick-response work that is smart and resourceful.
Successful ideas may need to be executed within two weeks of confirmation.

A film about us
A short film created by Ash Robinson of dollarmixbag, this documentary tells the story of the beginnings of Rekindle in Christchurch.
"Rekindle is a social enterprise that is on a mission to create a culture of zero waste wood in New Zealand. This vision is being driven by Juliet Arnott, an occupational therapist, who has combined her artistic and sustainable values with a belief in the therapeutic benefits that result when people use their hands to create something from nothing. Juliet believes that participation in this meaningful and creative work has the potential to transform lives, and the involvement of Christchurch youth forms an important part of her vision for Rekindle as it grows.
I heard Juliet speaking in Auckland at a ‘Green Drinks’ event, and was immediately captivated by the Rekindle idea and the visual beauty of the furniture. I decided to create this short documentary to help spread the Rekindle message. This is particularly important right now in Christchurch, with 6000 demolitions slated to happen over the next four years.
