Repurpose your unused digital devices!

The Team from Depot Artspace

We want to close the digital divide!

As part of the Depots' Artslab programme, we support 180 unemployed creatives find work every year.

We usually provide laptops at our workshops but due to lockdown we can’t, so some of our creatives are feeling very isolated and struggling to apply for work.

Recently on RNZ it was revealed that on average each NZ household has 6.5 digital devices but only two thirds of these are used.

We want to set up a programme whereby you can drop off your unused digital devices to us and we will repurpose them.

So if you have an old phone, tablet or laptop that works please get in touch: artslab@depotartspace.co.nz

Alternatively, you can drop them off on Wednesdays 11am - 5pm during the current lockdown level 3. We will have a staff member present those days.

Thank you in advance!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
