The Occuponics were part of a large contingent of musicians and performers at Occupy Broadway, one of the first of many pop-up occupations that occurred in New York City during the winter of 2011-2012, after Zuccotti Park was raided. Conceived as an exercise in “creative resistance,” the event began at 6 PM on Friday, December 1st, and continued for the next 24 hours in a small plaza on Broadway a few blocks north of Times Square. Occupy Broadway was a great success, with no arrests or violence on the part of either demonstrators or the NYPD.
