Special Envoy to Pristina (Kosovo)
A traveling art biennial that lands on the powder keg of the Balkans?
This is the bet of Manifesta 14 Prishtina 2022, which is being held for one hundred days in Kosovo, until next October 30.

It succeeds the editions of Palermo in 2018, superb especially for its abandoned palaces, and Marseille, battered by local dissension and shortened by a month by the Covid in 2020. Barely a week after its enthusiastic inauguration in Pristina, the capital and the largest city in Kosovo, whose international status is still disputed, Manifesta 14 confronts current events at their harshest and most random.
