GIUNGLA is a contemporary art festival held since 2020 in Lucca, a unique opportunity to meet and discuss the relationship between human, nature and technology.
Each edition focuses on a keyword, through which artists and guests from different disciplines explore new forms of artistic production and reflection. GIUNGLA is more than a festival: it is a practice of work and research, an inclusive context that continuously nurtures knowledge and experience, offering workshops, encounters and spaces for exchange.
“In common with GIUNGLA is a desire to create the conditions for a living world, revealing before our eyes, as in a theatre, a lively reality that makes encounter possible, crossed by multiple layers of time, in which it is difficult to orient oneself and make choices. A world that combines joy and problems, that allows beauty and also ambiguity of meaning. A world whose absurdity discourages and rejoices. These are the emotional states I try to express in my videos and which I manage to find in JUNGLE; this festival is a kind of miracle!“
– Bertrand Dezoteux, artist
“The vision that I have and that I share with the other members and volunteers of S.o.f.a. – the association that organises the festival – is to make GIUNGLA more a practice of work and reflection, a form of accompaniment for the artists’ production and research.“
– Irene Panzani, curator of GIUNGLA
