In 2022, the first production centre for jazz and artistic creativity on the Mediterranean islands saw the light of day. It is based in Berchidda, a small town in northern Sardinia that is already a protagonist on the international music scene.
This avant-garde project conceived, designed and carried out by the Time in Jazz cultural association, under the artistic direction of Paolo Fresu, is a cultural and artistic laboratory hosting dozens of artists from all over Europe. It is a forge of talents who come together to realise new artistic projects that are hosted by art venues (such as theatres, festivals, clubs, etc.) on the Mediterranean islands and beyond.
Insulae Lab promotes design, creativity and co-productions, offers artistic residencies, encourages new talents, promotes multidisciplinarity and multilanguages, and seeks to enhance traditions and cultural identities, without excluding the graft of innovation and contamination.
