M for Manifesta

Manifesta is the European Biennial for Contemporary Art.

Logo événement Manifesta 13

It was created in the early 1990s as a nomadic biennial, in response to the new social, cultural and political realities that emerged in the wake of the Cold War.

Manifesta takes place every two years in a different European city: this year, the 13th edition is taking place in Marseille. It was chosen for its strategic maritime position in the Mediterranean area, and the opportunity it offers to decipher its sociological, economic, cultural, geographical, ethnic, religious and political structure, which is as unprecedented as it is complex.

    Did you know?

    The name “Manifesta” took shape after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, marking the end of the Cold War and heralding a period of European integration. The young people of the 1980s, suddenly free to travel the length and breadth of Europe, were able to take advantage of their new-found mobility to share their rejection of nationalist sentiment. “Manifestare” or “Manifesto” is Latin for “on the move”, or in a more transcendental sense, “to make something visible”. It was this idea that gave birth to Manifesta.
