Manifesta 14 Prishtina

Over 160 female artists from Albania, Belarus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Kosovo, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine will participate in the Secondary Archive project at Manifesta 14 – The European Nomadic Biennial.
Secondaryarchive.org is a unique online archive that presents statements of three generations of female artists from Central and Eastern Europe. Manifesta 14 will be an opportunity for the platform to go beyond its current virtual framework and be presented in a direct, empirical form of narration. The Biennial, which this year will take place in the capital of Kosovo – Prishtina, officially opens to the public on July 22nd.
The secondaryarchive.org platform was created in response to the lack of visibility of women from Central and Eastern Europe in recent art history. The digital archive, which the Katarzyna Kozyra Foundation and its partners have been working on for two years, is designed to showcase the works of female artists from this region and create a space where they will be able to speak in an active voice. So far, the platform has managed to collect hundreds of artistic statements by female artists from Belarus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine. All the artists in the archives were invited to participate in the exhibition at Manifesta 14. They will be joined by artists from Albania, Kosovo and Serbia, whose statements will later be included in the digital archive. All the details about the exhibition will be revealed after the opening.

Manifesta, which changes its location every two years, will be held this year in the capital of Kosovo, Prishtina. The nomadic biennial purposely strives to keep its distance from what is often seen as the dominant centers of artistic life, seeking instead fresh and fertile terrain to engage local, national and international audiences with new aspects and forms of artistic expression. The program created together with the local community focuses on catalyzing positive changes and empowering citizens in their efforts to reclaim public space. Manifesta 14 Prishtina will run from July 22nd to October 30th, 2022. All the exhibitions and events within the biennial will be free and open to the public. More information: www.manifesta14.org
