For the first time, Manifesta and Anozero – Bienal de Coimbra join forces, bringing together two biennials with a shared commitment to artistic experimentation, knowledge production and social engagement. Together, they will explore how the city's rich architectural and academic heritage can become a starting point for new forms of cultural production, civic participation and sustainable urban transformations.

Organisation

Each edition of Manifesta is developed and managed by a combination of permanent international team members and local specialists, working from its offices in Amsterdam and the Host City or Region.

The collaboration with Anozero, founded by the Círculo de Artes Plásticas de Coimbra (CAPC), the City Council of Coimbra and the University of Coimbra, introduces a new model of cooperation between an international nomadic biennial and an established local cultural platform.

By bringing together international perspectives and local knowledge, the two biennials aim to strengthen Coimbra's cultural ecosystem and create opportunities for long-term exchange and collaboration. The Manifesta and Anozero teams will work closely together throughout the development and realisation of the 2028 edition.
