The European Biennial of Contemporary Art, known as Manifesta, has officially revealed the location for its 2028 edition, marking another significant milestone in the nomadic exhibition's ongoing journey across Europe. The announcement represents the continuation of Manifesta's unique approach to contemporary art curation, bringing cutting-edge artistic practices to different cities and regions every two years.
Manifesta has established itself as one of Europe's most important contemporary art platforms since its inception, distinguishing itself through its nomadic character that allows the biennial to engage with diverse cultural contexts and local communities. Each edition transforms the host city into a dynamic hub for contemporary artistic expression, fostering dialogue between international artists and local cultural institutions.
The biennial's selection process for host cities involves careful consideration of various factors, including cultural infrastructure, artistic communities, and the potential for meaningful engagement with local contexts. This approach ensures that each Manifesta edition creates lasting impact beyond the exhibition period, contributing to the cultural development of the host location.
As the art world continues to evolve and adapt to changing global circumstances, Manifesta's 2028 edition will likely address contemporary issues through innovative artistic practices and curatorial approaches. The biennial has consistently provided a platform for emerging and established artists to explore pressing social, political, and environmental themes relevant to European and global audiences.
