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.

This Is Not a Church Pew. Reused wooden church pews Venue - St. Josef.
With a design background, Curro Claret is particularly interested in exploring how people can question their way of life and their relationship with the planet, encouraging more active, conscious and emancipated attitudes through participatory processes. He challenges what may be considered marginal (either a living or material being) recognising its value. To this end, he uses the design and construction of furniture, objects, artifacts and actions indiscriminately with foundations, companies and academic institutions bringing together a diverse group of people.
