The Frottage Queen is on the move, and you’re invited to make your mark.


Join award-winning frottage artist Anne-Marie Hamilton as she roves the streets of Ōtepoti Dunedin, offering a tactile, hands-on art experience.


Using custom-carved woodcut panels inspired by natural and urban surfaces, Anne-Marie sets up impromptu frottage stations where the public is invited to pause, press, and create. With graphite in hand, you’ll craft your own artwork, layering story, texture, and feeling into a personal take-home piece.


This is street art with soul: slow, sensory, and deeply connective. Whether you’re five or eighty-five, curious or creatively cautious, you’re welcome to engage.


Created by Amo Artlab, Anne-Marie’s mobile creative studio, this roving Fringe offering is grounded in the belief that every surface holds a story, waiting to be uncovered through touch, observation, and art. Her practice invites strangers to become co-creators in a shared ritual of making.


Leave with something made by your hands.
Stay for something stirred in your heart.
