Photography workshops
and gatherings.
Creative residencies.
It is located in the Brenne Natural Park, a perfect place for walking and enjoying nature. It is known for its wealth of flora and fauna, and for being a refuge for numerous migratory birds. The house is located between the towns of Ingrandes and Mérigny, close to the cities of Poitiers and Châtellerault.
In addition to bedrooms and common areas, it has a specialised library of photobooks, work tables, an etching press, an analogue darkroom and loads of tools to create and publish art books.
The house is on a large plot of land, perfect for resting, reading and sharing. Behind the house there is a path through the woods to the nearest river: the Anglin.
WORKSHOPS
Throughout the year, we host workshops for photographers who work with a narrative, expressive approach.
These gatherings seek to encourage creativity and support people who use photography to express themselves. So, the groups are small and LaBabuch provides full room and board for all participants.
They are about learning through doing, not focusing solely on the final result, and having an enriching experience in a calm setting without distractions.
CREATIVE RESIDENCY
Our creative residencies are meant for people looking for quality time and space for their art project. They take place in June, July and September.
For each residency, there are three people at the house. Each one has a large single room with a desk and they share the house’s common spaces.
EDITIONS
LaBabuch is a home/workshop. We have all the tools to create our own publications, combining manual processes in our workshop and industrial ones normally done externally.
This combination has allowed us to develop our own personal way of making books, on our own or working with other publishers.
