“The places of Manifesta – said Orlando – will be in all the neighborhoods of the whole city, because the great works of art do not have to be closed in the museums but they have to interact with everyday life. For this reason, among the protagonists involved in these months there will be students, social associations, parishes. Everyone in the city that wants to welcome Manifesta artists with the same generosity with which they welcome migrants. “
