Related to Manifesta 15 Barcelona Metropolitana

At today's press conference, Manifesta 15 unveiled its forthcoming programme, revealing 43 participants hailing from diverse disciplines and corners of the globe.

Together, the Artistic Team is working on a programme spread across 16 venues and within public spaces throughout the region. Of the 43 participants announced today, 29 will present newly conceived work made especially for Manifesta 15.

We are proud to highlight that 55% of the participants are local or based locally, further strengthening Manifesta 15’s approach to amplify regional voices reflecting upon the metropolitan landscape.

For the selection of participants, Manifesta 15 prioritised those whose practices intersected with ecological and climate justice, community engagement and radical pedagogical approaches. They will suggest proactive ways to empower local communities to become active parts of their surrounding environments.
