/// MANIFEST:IO 2025

The theme for next year is Fragmenting Places, Imagined Spaces

About: This year we confront the theme of Fragmenting Places, Imagined Spaces. We invite submissions that reflect on space as multimodal, between the real and the imagined. Submissions are invited to reflect on the dissolution, transformation and occupation of spaces—whether through the gradual creep of gentrification, the sudden violence of demolition, the subtle decay of forgotten landscapes, and the radical imagination of new spaces. The call delves into the socio-political and ecological questions surrounding erasure, fragmentation and the battle for belonging in a world where places are increasingly contested and lost.
