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.

Manifesta 13 Marseille was one of the only international biennials to take place during the global pandemic COVID-19, the biennial ended earlier than planned due to the second national lockdown

Installation in public space at Tromostovje

At the Slovenian border, the Bosnian artist Šejla Kamerić had to use the entrance with a sign saying "Others''. She chose Tromostovje (the Three Bridges) in the centre of Ljublijana for her installation. She placed signs for the European Union (EU) and for “Others'' on the bridges. In this way, passersby who crossed the bridges were forced into a reproduced reality, recalling the situation of those who cross national borders.
