ŻiguŻajg’s Tenth Birthday: Marta Vella is appointed as the new Festival Director

2020 has been a challenging year for the whole world, to put it mildly.

Nevertheless, under the direction of Marta Vella, ŻiguŻajg rose to the occasion, and saw opportunity in the face of adversary. As creatives with a heightened awareness of communities’ limitations and obstacles, the ŻiguŻajg team envisioned a wholly accessible Festival that is diverse, interactive and reachable to children and young people from all walks of life, one which they could enjoy from the safety of their own homes.

“I want to keep pushing the envelope, commissioning work that is relevant and bringing more of the magic only ŻiguŻajg can bring to children and their families.”
