Shiprite

SHIPRITE
Creative Occupation Collective

Creative Occupation Collective will develop an immersive multi-performer work titled Shiprite composed of performance and artworks.

Shiprite enacts the transformation of a shipwreck site by inverting the gestures of human extraction, removal and wreckage through a rite of renewal and accumulation.

Creative Occupation Collective Bio

Creative Occupation Collective explores 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, field recordings; weaving these fields together.

Creative Occupation is an ecology of practice, emerging through ideas, creative processes, journeys, and collaborations. It manifests in events and communing through art, ritual, and creative play.
