The organisers of Manifesta 14 have announced new details of the upcoming exhibition, which takes place in Pristina (also spelled Prishtina), Kosovo, from 22 July to 30 October 2022.
So far, 77 artists and collectives have been announced, including international artists Ugo Rondinone, Roni Horn, Lee Bul, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, and 37 participants from Kosovo.
Participating artists will show works at 22 venues across the city, the most important of which are a former brick factory, the Grand Hotel, and the new Centre for Narrative Practice in what was formerly Hivzi Sylejmani Library.
Others include the Palace of Youth and Sports, the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Pristina, the National Gallery of Kosovo, Gërmia Department Store, the Observatory of Pristina, a private apartment, and the Partisans Martyrs Cemetery Monument.
Assorted artistic and urban interventions designed to reclaim public space will also take place across Pristina.
Manifesta 14 Pristina aims to examine the role storytelling plays in our collective survival. Its title is it matters what worlds world worlds: how to tell stories otherwise.
The exhibition was named by Berlin-based Australian scholar and curator Catherine Nichols, Creative Mediator of Manifesta 14 Pristina.
'Familiar narratives based on human exceptionalism, nationalist ideologies, and capitalist triumphalism, inevitably end badly,' Nichols said at a press conference announcing the show's title in October last year.
'They world worlds in which paralysis prevails over participation, and private interests prevail over public political action,' she continued. 'The question is how do we tell stories otherwise?'
'What new worlds might we world if, in the words of political philosopher Hannah Arendt, we practise thinking with an enlarged mentality, if we consciously train our imagination to go visiting?'
