Barcelona Metropolitana
September 8–November 24, 2024
Manifesta 15 takes place over 12 weeks, across 12 cities in the metropolitan region of Barcelona.
Manifesta 15 aims to reshape the relations between art, culture and society by investigating and catalysing socio-ecological change. All whilst being in continuous dialogue with both local communities and international cultural producers.
From September 8 to November 24, 2024, Manifesta works in extraordinary venues which are symbolic of the thematic and conceptual approach of the edition. The biennial includes new, local perspectives to the ever-changing fabric and histories of the region.
Due to its nomadic nature, each edition finds itself in a new locality every two years because it is invited by a Host City. In Manifesta 15’s case, the Bid was written by the Barcelona City Council and supported by 11 cities in the metropolitan region: Badalona, Cornellà de Llobregat, El Prat de Llobregat, Granollers, L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Mataró, Sabadell, Sant Adrià de Besòs, Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Sant Cugat del Vallès and Terrassa.
Manifesta 15 is larger than any previous edition, spreading over an area of 3000 square kilometers, with a population of 5.1 million inhabitants, whilst being hosted—for the first time in the history of Manifesta—by 12 cities.
