Creative Occupation
Creative Occupation is an artist collective, exploring creative connections on Wadawurrung Country/ Geelong in places seen and ‘unseen’. Established in 2018 inspired by a project on South Channel Fort Island, in Port Phillip Bay, our practice is underpinned by links with coastal and (under)water locations around the bay and beyond. We work in performance, visual art, poetry, film, sculpture, curating, field recordings; weaving the interactions of these fields together. Creative Occupation is an ecology of practice, emerging through organic flows and connections of ideas, concepts, creative processes, experiences, journeys, environments, and collaborations. The enactments of Creative Occupation manifest through events and communing through art, ritual, and creative play
