The Manifesta biennial, one of the most important events in contemporary art, has presented its list of artists. Among the participants is Maryna Naprushkina, an artist born in Belarus who now lives in Berlin.
Manifesta is a nomadic biennial held every two years in different parts of Europe, exploring the evolving dynamics of European identity through site-specific exhibitions, urban interventions, and community engagement.
This year, the biennial will move to Germany’s Ruhr region. Project venues will include decommissioned churches in four cities—Duisburg, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, and Bochum—where religious buildings will be transformed into laboratories of art and community, addressing the important theme of urban regeneration.
Selected curatorial tandems are working on projects across different cities. In Bochum, where the curatorial team consists of Polish specialists Anda Rottenberg and Krzysztof Kościuczuk, participants include Mirosław Bałka, Zuza Golińska, Maryna Naprushkina, Mikołaj Sobczak, and Cassidy Toner.
Their projects will be realized at the Gethsemane Church, built between 1947 and 1950.
The Manifesta biennial will take place in Germany’s Ruhr region from June 21 to October 4.
