The Festival Art Souterrain – 17th edition

From March 15 to April 6, 2025, the underground city will undergo a transformation to create a new habitat for the 17th edition of the Festival Art Souterrain.

Contemporary societal challenges prompt us to reconsider not only our environment but also our way of living and conceiving our surroundings. What defines a habitat? Is it the built environment we create, or the intimate, trusting spaces we cultivate within them? The 17th edition of the Festival Art Souterrain provides an opportunity to explore our relationship with intimate life and how we navigate a rapidly changing world.

Curators Geneviève Thibault and Eric Millette investigate the various aspects of the modern habitat, focusing on its human, social, and environmental dimensions. Through photography, video, installation, sculpture, and performance, the featured artists address and contribute to envisioning a future where our habitats reflect the very values of creativity, sustainability, and inclusivity.
