Manifesta 8: la Bienal europea de arte contemporáneo : Región de Murcia (España) en diálogo con el Norte de África = The European Biennal of contemporary art : Region of Murcia (Spain) in dialogue with northern Africa

Abstract

"In past editions, Manifesta has often focused on the axis between the West and the former East bloc. The aim of Manifesta 8 will be to engage with the north-south divide, specifically with Europe's present-day boundaries with northern Africa and its interrelations with the Maghreb region. Given the current international concerns about migration, refugee status, trans-nationalism and the new borders of Europe, both psychological and geographical, the Region of Murcia is a conceptual launching pad for contemporary art projects about how artists respond to these issues within a broader, historical context."--Manifesta 8 website.
