In-Habit is a pilot project that began in 2007 bringing together Punctum and the Abbotsford Convent to develop an arts research and cultural exchange program.
As part of the intial phase of this project, artists associated with Punctum were in residence at the Abbotsford Convent throughout 2009, researching site/place/space and cultural exchange. In-Habit in 2010 was a season of eleven live art and performance events resulting from this residency.
