Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary art, changes locations every two years. The next Manifesta Biennial edition, Manifesta 7, takes place from 19 July until 2 November 2008 and will be situated across a number of locations on Europe’s North-South transit route, linking the regions of the Austrian Tyrol to the Italian South Tyrol and Northern Italy. The artistic content for Manifesta 7 is in the hands of a specially appointed team of distinguished curators, that consists of Adam Budak (Krakow/Graz), Anselm Franke (Antwerp/Berlin)/Hila Peleg (Berlin) and the members of Raqs Media Collective (New Delhi).

It is the first time that Manifesta takes place in a Host region instead of a Host city. After Rotterdam (1996), Luxembourg (1998), Ljubljana (2000), Frankfurt (2002), San Sebastian (2004) and Nicosia (2006 – cancelled), the Autonomous Province of Bozen/Bolzano – South Tyrol and the Autonomous Province of Trento who together constitute the region of Trentino – Südtirol/Alto Adige have been selected by the International Foundation Manifesta for its industrial heritage and cultural infrastructure, which will form the basis for formulating a new strategy for the next edition of Manifesta.
