<p>Habitat is a permanent cult-rural settlement and collective workshop carrying participatory practices of living (and publishing) within and beyond the local scale. The first cycle of residencies took place from July to August 2021 in the village of Cà de Monti– Tredozio, hosting and co-operating with 60 artists. Since January 2022, Habitat has been permanently established in the same village, thinking its spaces as an open site dedicated to hospitality and creative, social practices. <br><br><i>"Living itself exists in forms that must be questioned, rearranged, mobilized, and undone."</i><br>
