Occupy - the exhibition

An exhibition exploring the theme of Occupy

Brought to you by the 2022 Australasian Students of Architecture Congress (ASAC)

A collection of five artists from different backgrounds, different places, practising with different mediums all responding to the same theme of Occupy ~

What does it mean to occupy? Not just physically but culturally, socially, mentally and politically as well.

How do we occupy space? Not only architectural spaces: but also community spaces, spaces of care, of ownership, our internal headspace, spaces which stretch through time and those beyond the physical realm.

George Goodnow
Claire Grant & Kuweni Dias Mendis
James Hornsby
Lillian Whitaker
