Habitat is a permanent cult-rural settlement and collective workshop carrying participatory practices of living. 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, using research, crafting and the speculative action of the imagination. A place-based strategy 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 rework his precious micro-territorial heritage.
Jacopo Lega (Faenza, 1995) is a Creative director, cultural strategist, book maker and graphic enthustiast based between Rotterdam and Tredozio, where he's running Habitat.
