Self-Guided Podcast Tour Dunedin's Gritty Canvas

About this activity

Dunedin is a city of contradictions. Built on Otago Gold Rush wealth, its founders draped their ambitions in gothic stone, declaring an 'Edinburgh of the South.' Beneath the academic facade lies another pulse: decades of stagnation preserved a Victorian warehouse district now reclaimed by striking street art. Join design historian Clara and architectural detective Pablo through hidden alleys and industrial precincts. Trace the shift from colonial architecture to a surrealist canvas, exploring how failure can become preservation and paint can challenge stone.
