A biannual art exhibition and also an event promoting transformations, an urban regeneration agency: Manifesta 14 in Pristina counted, in addition to its mixed public-private financing model, also on the support of a wide range of funds and international foundations that have been supporting it since the beginning in 1996, and – the organizers specify - “on the consistent financial support of corporate sponsors, partnerships of great importance that allow Manifesta di promote new visions of art and culture and realize itinerant site-specific biannual exhibitions in Europe”.
“The relation with the territory – the managers of GCF – Kosovo comment with satisfaction – the goal to renew and contribute to the development, environmental compatibility and sustainability in the future, are topics that a company like GCF, involved in the full renewal of the railway network of the country, totally embodies: they are a fundamental element in our entrepreneurial culture and constitute the ultimate scope of our operation. For this reason, assuring our contribution was an “instinctive” gesture that arises spontaneously from the bond with this territory and the commitment to do our best for the development of the country”.
Art and urban “regeneration” projects. In Pristina, with Manifesta 14, the itinerant European Biannual Exhibition, Contemporary Art interprets a new model: the relaunching start-up.
