The Manifesta Workbook is a free, print-on-demand art mediation resource. Manifesta biennials set out to investigate, develop and reflect on new aspects of contemporary art, specifically within a European context. Education, in the broadest sense of the word, is not an additional program for Manifesta; it is at the core of how Manifesta works. During the biennial exhibitions, but also with such projects as the Manifesta Journal and now the Manifesta Workbook, we strive to create meaningful, long-term cultural dialogue and to build strong links between European and international artists and art audiences.

With the Workbook Manifesta hopes to create a growing platform for the development and exchange of methods for art mediation. As such Manifesta will open up the platform by inviting guest contributions by our colleagues working at other biennials, museums or in other art mediation contexts.

New chapters will be available for download at www.manifestaworkbook.org soon.
