OCCUPIED SPACES
Impactful change through artful participation


WHO WE ARE
Occupied Spaces is a pioneering force in crafting bespoke experiences that transcend the ordinary. Based in Meanjin, Brisbane and operating all over Queensland, Occupied Spaces specialises in the curation of transformative arts experiences that linger in the memory of your community and audiences long after they leave.
Our ethos is based on the evidence that well-designed participation in the arts has the power to provoke shifts in feelings, beliefs, and actions. By seamlessly blending multi-arts practice with community engagement, we produce immersive site-specific experiences that invite audiences to co-create with their surroundings.

WHAT WE DO
COMMUNITY
We cultivate connection through vibrant multi-arts projects and workshops. It is important that we respect those who have occupied the space before us, in every context within which we operate. We value authentic relationships, understand the importance of local stories, and champion exceptional creatives to develop and create work on their home turf. We listen. We facilitate. We support.
IMPACT
At Occupied Spaces, the foundation of our work is in creating socially impactful experiences and improving well-being. We work in partnership with individuals and organisations to engage, amplify, support, and realise their goals. Our aim is to create tailored, meaningful and enriching experiences for the social, professional and economical benefit of the community. Each project is beautifully unique.
DISCOVERY
At the heart of each Occupied Spaces project is an invitation for participation, expansion, and adventure. We use interactive community-driven performance, audio, and visual art to engage with audience members and allow for a free exchange of ideas. We aim to inspire and create new perspectives, challenging people’s understanding of the norm while delving into the new and now.
