JAMA is an annual intermedia art event held in Banská Belá, Banská Štiavnica and the surrounding area. It is organised by ooo since 2019.

The first JAMA – 73. ročník Milana Adamčiaka (the numbering borrows from Milan Adamčiak's untimely age) aimed to revive Milan Adamčiak's legacy and view of art in the places where he spent the last years of his life, through the current work of living artists.

Meanwhile, JAMA has turned into an "intermedia art event." The memory of Milan Adamčiak is the starting point, but his work itself is not key – year after year, the theme is becoming more and more about the freedom to express oneself and respond to the world around us. "In the spirit of Adamčiak, at JAMA we try to break down barriers and stereotypes, starting with our own," say the organizers from the ooo association, Fero Király and Eva Vozárová, who create a dedicated space for exploring the world through sound art, contemporary music, and intermedia art.
