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 15 Barcelona will be taking place in Barcelona and 11 surrounding metropolitan cities

The Embassy of the North Sea was founded in The Hague on the 1st of June 2018 by the Parliament of Things. The Embassy of the North Sea departs from the idea that the North Sea belongs to itself. The Embassy researches how non-humans – from phytoplankton to ship wrecks to cod fish – can become full-fledged members of our society. The Embassy of the North Sea works towards 2030, when we (humans) hope to emotionally, juridically and politically relate ourselves to the sea in a fundamentally different way.
