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

During Manifesta 8 the Dutch collective Metahaven redesigned the labels of Murcia-grown fruit. Their new labels addressed the geopolitical situation of the territories where the fruit was grown, adding elements of surprise and speculation. The fruit with the redesigned labels was distributed in a food-market installation at Manifesta.
