Manifesta is a not for profit limited company which develops and delivers arts and cultural projects addressing cultural diversity, social exclusion / inclusion and anti-racism.

We devise, develop, produce and manage programmes and projects - using art forms as mediums for exploring and commenting on key contemporary social issues.

We work in the UK and in Europe, brokering innovative collaborations, and involving carefully selected local partners.

Through our work, we tackle and contribute to current affairs debate - social, artistic, cultural.

We put marginalized voices - including those of old and new migrants - centre stage, online, on television, in conferences and at festivals, so they are heard.

We make a special point of encouraging and promoting youth participation and engagement - training and developing skills, creating intra and inter-generational links and lines of communications/dialogue where there are none or too few.

We offer particular expertise in film and video - and in the last four years, we have produced more than 90 short films, seen in museums and community centres, on European television and online, and at festivals and international conferences. We were nominated by the CRE 2000 Race in the Media Awards, and received 2 UN Alliance of Civilisation Awards in December 2009.
