Welcome to Occupation Installation.
OI's Lego protester joined the anti-cuts march through central London on Saturday October 20th.
Despite having leg lengths that are best measured in mm, the tiny protesters made it all the way to Hyde Park in good time to get lost in the grass and join in the booing at Ed Miliband.
OI attended the Global Noise demo in Central London on Saturday October 13th bringing you another pop-up gallery.

On October 15th 2011 the international Occupy movement hit the UK. Within two months the UK and Ireland were hosting approximately 40 Occupations ranging in scale from the massive camp at St Paul’s in London to the one-tent-protest that worked its way across the Isle of Wight.
Six months on Bristol played host to an artistic event that used pop-up galleries and installations in the city's public spaces to explore this protest movement that saw 1,400 camps spring up across the globe, and to explore the motivations and experiences of some of the people involved. See how the Bristol project went here.
In October 2012 OI hit the streets of London to mark the 1st birthday of Occupy.

_The Occupy movement is based upon the principal that public spaces belong to us and should be a place where people can meet, debate ideas and find solutions. In this spirit Occupation Installation playfully brings these ideas into the public arena.
Look out for words written in chalk across the pavement, anonymous walls turned into public galleries, stories strung on washing lines, a tent of underpants, voices speaking from suspended jars, flags flying and Lego protesters. There is still time to take part Email us your stories, or share your Occupy experiences with us through our submissions page. You can see how we will use the submitted info here.
