Manifesta, the European Nomadic Biennial, changes location every two years. Founded in the early 1990s, Manifesta re-thinks the relation between culture and civic society, investigating and instigating positive social change through contemporary culture in response to and in close dialogue with the host city and its communities. Manifesta has consistently chosen unexpected host locations that reflect Europe’s ever-changing DNA to shed light on a world defined by changing ethical and aesthetic imperatives. Manifesta, as a recurring event, has transformed itself into a multi-layered and inclusive instrument of civic engagement projects.
