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.

Claudia Pagès’ captivating worlds seamlessly blend words, bodies, music and movement, creating a diverse and engaging tapestry of exploration. Her focus extends to uninterrupted flows, including navigation, transportation and language.
Pagès delves into the concept of “architectures of containment,” dissecting structures that uphold power through the fluidity of commodities and capital. This exploration takes a closer look at the pivotal roles played by water, paper and language, emphasising their symbolic and tangible significance. Claudia Pagès' body of work invites audiences to immerse themselves in a profound examination of interconnected elements that shape societal dynamics and power structures.
