Welcome to KNOCKvologan Studio,

a vibrant hub for creative research, cultural dialogue, and environmental stewardship. Founded and curated by artists Miek Zwamborn and Rutger Emmelkamp, KNOCKvologan acts as a creative instigator, sparking projects that connect local realities with global ideas.

We bring together art, literature, music, food, gardening, and encounters with nature to open fresh perspectives on the relationship between humans and the living world. Rooted in the Ross of Mull, we engage deeply with the land and culture that surrounds us, while inviting voices from elsewhere to join the conversation.

By weaving local stories with global perspectives, we build a creative community that inspires new ways of thinking, living, and coexisting with our environment.

Explore our diverse range of projects & residencies and connect with us on Instagram to stay updated.
