.- On the 27th of November 2020 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, the Manifesta Board examined the most convincing applications for future editions of the European Nomadic Biennial. The Bids submitted by the City of Barcelona and the Ruhr Area (Ruhrgebiet), Germany were of such high quality that the Board asked for a commitment from both cities - Barcelona for 2024 and the Ruhr Area for 2026. Today, the Ruhr Parliament confirmed that they have allocated the budget to host Manifesta 16 in 2026. The nominated host area presented an exciting thematic approach that examines the effects of a changing global world order against the backdrop of a region that has not only been shaped by coal mining and heavy industries but also international trade relations, such as the New Silk Road connecting Europe with China.
