more on Manifesta

Manifesta is a biennial visual art event that began as a Dutch initiative

to create a pan- European platform for the contemporary visual arts.

Unlike most biennials, Manifesta is held in a different location each time it's held,

and the concept of an itinerant event first took shape in Rotterdam in 1996

Manifesta offers a platform for emerging artists, on the basis

of a networking organisation, which is able to respond flexibly

to new artistic, technological and cultural developments.

Each new edition aims to establish a close dialogue between a

specific cultural and artistic situation and the broader context

of European visual contemporary art.
