HABILIS is an exploratory study, conducted between 2020 and 2022, focused on the enhancement of intangible cultural heritage. Starting in August 2023, the project will move into the creation phase with a view to a large-scale exhibition presented at the Écomusée du fier monde in Montréal, from mid-June to mid-October 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.
