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.

Zuza Golińska explores the relationships between humans, public spaces, and architecture. Based in Warsaw, Poland, her work is strongly influenced by the ways people behave in, and interact with, the public realm. In her recent work, she has focused on imagining future landscapes, with a particular emphasis on the remnants of human presence – such as ruins and industrial byproducts – marking the end of human-led labour.
