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.

Nasan Tur's work brings together public space and institutional art contexts. Deeply engaged with the political and social conditions of our time, he creates experimental situations that reveal ideologies, social norms and behavioural codes and invite the viewer to reflect and open up to how their actions can create an impact. Tur’s work addresses contemporary social tensions, exploring both collective struggles and personal vulnerability. Central themes include resistance, freedom of expression and the ethics of activism.
