'Akavata is the space between one point and another, and can only be activated through community.

The name originates from the curator Morgan Hogg's Cook Island heritage; she has invited artists to engage with the spaces of the creative studios to bring together the arts community in a night of celebration, with a spread of performances, music, installation and visual arts held within the City of Sydney Creative Studios.

The City of Sydney Creative Studios features 30 spaces across 5 stories of Greenland Centre, 119 Bathurst Street Sydney. The 2000sqm venue includes rehearsal spaces, recording and editing suites, visual art studios, workshop and screening rooms, office spaces, cafe and an artist in residence apartment.
