IN GENERAL I DON’T LIKE BIENNIALS

Omar Koubaa

I agree with what sceptics bring forward: they have to many roots in city marketing and economical and political interest instead of artistic interests.

In the case of Manifesta however, I believe that the location, the history of occupation of Cartanega trough the people of Carthago and current events of immigration make it ideal for site- specific work.

This Manifesta is a chance – because of its interesting geographical location- to make clear that clashing civilisations are the result of mutual fear of people for each other. The curators should in my opinion design projects that show manners in an artistic way to try to live in a multicultural world.
