Manifesta is an European Contemporary Art Biennale. Palermo’s position at the crossroads of three continents makes it an ideal location for Manifesta 12 to investigate some of the key changes of our time.
“The Planetary Garden. Cultivating Coexistence” explored the concept of coexistence in a world moved by invisible networks, transnational private interests, algorithmic intelligence and ever-increasing inequalities. An anthology of articles selected by the Creative Mediators was published to contextualize the topics examined by the Biennale from different perspectives. Divided into three sections of the Biennal – Borderless, Accountable Networks and Interspecies – the reader offers a series of texts related to the curatorial concept.
