TMLAB

This project focuses on supporting emerging and up-and-coming artists and curators from diverse backgrounds, providing opportunities for growth and further development of their careers.

The program serves as a basis for artists and curators to reclaim their narratives and challenge the historical structures that have shaped the music landscape to date. Through live events, tours, and radio shows, TMLAB showcases the ever-evolving music scenes across Europe, while also challenging the inequalities that currently define the music landscape.

TMLAB partners include: Stegi radio (Greece), C2C Festival (Italy), Kiosk Radio (Belgium), Arty Farty (France), and La Casa Encendida (Spain).

On Thursday, October 30, C2C HQ will host a showcase curated by Federico Zonno, selected through the TMLAB open call, featuring sets by AMAZON, Not Mass, and Strada; and the listening session “Soundscapes as Resistance”. The Lingotto program on Friday, October 31, will include a collaborative show between Uruguayan artist Lechuga Zafiro and the new Italian-Colombian formation Tresca y Tigre, based in Turin. The performance stems from an artistic residency taking place in the city in the days leading up to the event, further confirming C2C Festival’s commitment to fostering creative and cultural dialogue on an international scale. Within the context of C2C Talks, scheduled for Friday, October 31 at Teatro Regio, the TMLAB program will include two workshops for young curators and artists, the sonic roundtable Citizenship Beyond The State—which will explore themes of citizenship and diasporic identity—and the sound interventions by Radio Banda Larga.
