Horizin
Members of the Christchurch band Horizin standing in front of a garage door.
Contributor's note: Horizin got together in 1984, with songs about racism, land rights, nuclear disarmament and the plight of street kids all set to their own mix of reggae, jazz, rock and soul. They played at Christchurch's Zanzibar as well as free benefit concerts and other gigs around the South Island. The photo was taken in the Christchurch Arts Centre, home of the original Dux de Lux restaurant and bar and the Arts Employment Scheme where eight of the eleven member band and crew had completed a six month P.E.P. programme. The Arts Employment Scheme also offered space, training and promotion for drama groups, designers and a painting team responsible for many of Christchurch's earliest street murals.
