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 took place in Barcelona and 11 surrounding cities ot its metropolitan region.

Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg is a multidisciplinary artist examining our fraught relationships with nature and technology. Through subjects as diverse as artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, conservation and evolution, she explores the human impulse to "better" the world. Using simulation, representation and a nonhuman perspective, she questions society's tendency to prioritise innovation over preservation, especially in the face of environmental challenges.
In June 2023, Ginsberg won the S+T+ARTS Grand Prize for Artistic Exploration for her experimental interspecies living artwork, Pollinator Pathmaker. This unique artwork was designed for pollinators and planted and cared for by humans. Commissioned editions are currently on view at LAS Art Foundation at Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, Serpentine in Kensington Gardens London and at the Eden Project Cornwall.
Ginsberg holds a PhD from the Royal College of Art, London, and has exhibited work at MoMA New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, the Centre Pompidou, the Royal Academy of Arts and Toledo Museum of Art, Ohio.
