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

Across the Border by Italian artist Filippo Minelli was a participatory project exploring migration and identity in the age of Big Data. Thirty flags were commissioned, to be designed by individuals (citizens, refugees and activists) living in countries linked to each other by the migration of their citizens and by the flux of digital information via Sicily’s internet infrastructure.
