An exhibition celebrating the legacy and heritage of Bristol’s music culture will feature at the historic Royal West of England Academy (RWA).
Running from 19 May – 28 June 2026, the exhibition is presented I46 Media and curated by DJ Krust (Adapt The Canvas), alongside DJ Flynn (Independent Dealers) and Gary Thompson, co-author of The Art and Sound of the Bristol Underground .
This is Jungle promises an immersive exploration of the rich history and vibrant culture of Bristol's early Drum & Bass and Jungle scenes. It serves as a heartfelt tribute to Jungle's past and its transformative influence on the global music landscape.
Gary Thompson, co curator of the exhibition shared that “ This is Jungle is an authentic and comprehensive exploration of Jungle through previously unseen archival material, artwork, and photography. Visitors will gain deep insight into the roots and rise of the movement, experiencing the music, art, and culture that defined a generation”.
The exhibition runs alongside Dance Out, the RWA’s major summer exhibition featuring contemporary works by Denzil Forrester, Paul Dash, David Remfy, Gillian Wearing, Tracy Emin as well as new works by award-winning film maker Melaine Manchot.
