<p>Habitat is a permanent cult-rural settlement and collective workshop carrying participatory practices of living (and publishing) within and beyond the local scale. <br><br><i>"Living itself exists in forms that must be questioned, rearranged, mobilized, and undone."</i><br>
<small>N. Thompson, Living as a Form, 2012</small><br><br>By Intertwining and at the same time declining the specific pre-existing context, Habitat has been conceived as a facilitator of immediate, reciprocal possibilities for the artistic and cultural development of the territory and its inhabitants, using research, crafting and the speculative action of the imagination. A shared, convivial action that recognises the importance of the (im)material landscape and the need for careful knowledge built from below, as an essential basis for the activation of oriented interventions that - using the territory as a place of inspiration and action - learn how to collect and expand his precious micro-territorial heritage.</p>
