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 and performance exhibited at Kubo Kutxa Kursaal
Portuguese artist Carlos Bunga’s interest in the performativity of architecture informed the temporary cardboard structure he built within Rafael Moneo’s Kursaal. This structure was imploded through a series of strategic cuts during the opening of the biennale. The remaining skin of the original edifice served as a marker of both interior and exterior.
