MANI-FEST

2023/09/01 –2023/10/10

Vernissage 1 sept kl 17-20

Can architects use the written word to change the world? MANI-FEST is an exhibition and publication inviting 15 young Swedish architects to formulate their own manifestos. The project set out to reflect on the power of words, historical manifestos and what is important to architects in Sweden right now. Do manifestos serve purpose for architects today and in the future? How can they contribute to a superficial and polarized debate on architecture? What are the issues that engage young architects in 2023?

The manifestos will be presented in a publication and a spatial installation in SPARK's gallery at Båstadsgatan 4 in Malmö. During September, several talks will be organized where the participating offices will have the opportunity to develop their thoughts on manifestos, writing and architecture. The project will be a part of Malmö In The Making.
