Habitat

Jacopo Lega

Living, sharing, adapting.

Habitat is a permanent cult-rural settlement and collective workshop carrying participatory practices of living (and publishing) within and beyond the local scale.

"Living itself exists in forms that must be questioned, rearranged, mobilized, and undone."
N. Thompson, Living as a Form, 2012

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.


Jacopo Lega (Faenza, 1995) is a Creative director, cultural strategist, book maker and graphic enthustiast based between Rotterdam and Cà de Monti - Tredozio, where he's running Habitat since July 2021. He's also co-founder of Amphibia, an editorial platform that manifests itself in the shaded areas of night entertainment and the peripheries of visual research.
