Habitus is one of Pierre Bourdieu’s most influential yet ambiguous concepts. It refers to the physical embodiment of cultural capital, to the deeply ingrained habits, skills, and dispositions that we possess due to our life experiences.

Our work.
Artist SerVices & Producing
We work with individual artists, collectives and companies to realise ideas and get work out into the world.
Through producing, client management and tailored advice, we bring clarity, form and momentum to what can often feel like creative chaos—supporting artists to focus, thrive and share their work with confidence.
Creative Direction, Curation & programming
We shape moments and reimagine spaces for creativity and connection through cultural programming and design.
Working across art forms, we bring meaning, beauty and richness to people’s lives and the places they inhabit. Our services include creative direction, cultural programming, and design tailored to your vision and context.
Strategy, Insights & Program Design
We offer strategic planning, facilitation, workshops, engagement and industry insights.
We design, plan and deliver tailored projects and programs that align with your vision—spanning sector and professional development, brand and creative business development, funding and partnerships, governance, project management and community engagement.
