Manifesta purposely strives to keep its distance from what are often seen as the dominant centres of artistic production, instead seeking fresh and fertile terrain for the mapping of a new cultural topography.

As part of Manifesta 8, Wooloo organised a visually limited residency programme for artists. For one week, five selected artists lived and worked in a dark, visually distorted exhibition space. Each artist collaborated with a local visually impaired guide to create a tour of their living space. On the last day the blacked-out space was opened to visitors.
