Chanfaina Lab is a collective audiovisual creation experience in rural Galicia, where participants live alongside the local community and develop pieces inspired by the landscape, memory, and local stories.
Chanfaina Lab is a collective audiovisual creation experience that serves as a meeting space for artistic practice, research, and community life in rural Galicia. Held in settings away from major urban centers, the festival offers an intensive immersion where participants integrate into the community's daily life, forming bonds with the locals and discovering its cultural and social dynamics. In this context, teams develop audiovisual pieces in a limited time, drawing inspiration from the landscape, memory, and local stories. The creative process becomes an exercise in listening and interpretation, where the territory acts as an active agent. The initiative fosters experimentation and diverse languages, and promotes the dissemination of the resulting works, reinforcing the dialogue between the rural and contemporary creation.
