Manifesta 11

Manifesta is the only itinerant European biennial of contemporary art. Since Manifesta’s inception in the early 1990s, it’s mission has been to examine the cultural topography of Europe. Every two years Manifesta finds a new city or region in which to temporarily embed itself. In the past Manifesta has typically selected peripheral or contested regions as hosts.

Zurich’s dynamic and complex urban environment will provide a socially, politically and artistically significant trajectory for Manifesta. This rich and rapidly evolving urban setting will give Manifesta 11 the opportunity to explore critical global issues relating to the processes of urbanisation, urban space and society while reassessing the role that art can play in these.
