HABILIS is a project conducted in Montreal and Paris, between 2022 and 2023, focused on the enhancement of intangible cultural heritage. HABILIS has been presented in a large-scale exhibition at the Écomusée du fier monde in Montréal, from July 3th to October 15th, 2024. 

Our intangible cultural heritage, that which is transmitted by word and deeds, is without a doubt the one to which Pierre Fauteux is most attuned. It is perhaps his training as an anthropologist, or simply his humanistic vision, that drives his admiration for human imagination, accomplishment, and know-how.
​
Through a series of black and white photos, Pierre presents the fruit of his encounters with people, all of them wise in their ways, who have accumulated so much knowledge and who help keep our heritage alive.

A 108-page photo book accompanies the exhibition and is on sale here.
