Exhibition Habitats Gran Kour

The exhibition Habitats is an artistic and photographic exploration of the island’s domestic architecture and living spaces across the centuries. Hosted at the Maison Gran Kour, it focuses on the transition from colonial ‘case’ to modern social housing in Reunion. The exhibition highlights regional identity by showcasing how the Reunionese home has adapted to the tropical climate and social shifts. Visitors can view rare archival photographs and contemporary artworks that question the future of urbanism on a finite island territory. This event fosters social reflection on the importance of preserving historical buildings as part of the collective memory. For researchers in architecture and sociology, it provides a comprehensive database of Reunionese living patterns. Protecting this artistic discourse preserves the legacy of the island’s unique architectural soul.
