Manifesta

Manifesta is the European Nomadic Biennial, changing locations with Europe for each edition. In its 30 years of existence, Manifesta has become one of the most influential biennials in the world. Every two years, Manifesta takes place in a new European Host City, exploring the local, cultural, urban and environmental conditions while re-imagining with local citizens and communities how we live, work and see our future in Europe. After 30 years, Manifesta has transformed the very essence of its model, from being a biennial of contemporary art and a producer of exhibitions to an interdisciplinary platform of co-creation, incorporating artistic creativity and social commitment for social, urban and cultural change. This new model of Manifesta, closely related to our changing society, functions both as a base to experiment with artistic practices, and as an incubator for long-term sustainable interventions in each host city.
