For its thirteenth edition, the 2020 Manifesta Biennial will be held for the first time in France, in Marseille. Manifesta 13 is made up of three interconnected programmes, developed over the past two years and continually evolving: Traits d’union.s, the main programme, Le Tiers Programme, the education and mediation programme, and the programme of parallel events, Les Parallèles du Sud (with over 80 projects in France's Région Sud).

Manifesta was founded by the Dutch art historian Hedwig Fijen.

The artistic team for the 13th edition of Manifesta includes:

• The Moroccan exhibition curator Alya Sebti, currently Director of the ifa Gallery in Berlin;
• The Russian exhibition curator Katerina Chuchalina, based in Moscow where she is currently Director of Programming at the V-A-C Foundation, in Moscow and Venice;
• The German exhibition curator and artistic director Stefan Kalmàr, currently Director of the ICA in London.

The Institut français is offering a circuit featuring artists on the French scene participating in Manifesta, via digital encounters. These digital talks will be available for playback on the Institut français website. 

Different partner venues involved in “Les Parallèles du Sud”, museums, institutions, art centres, FRACs and leading contemporary art establishments in Marseille, in partnership with the city and the Région Sud, will also be highlighted through this virtual FOCUS programme. 

The emphasis is on promoting artists from the French – and more specifically Marseille – scene and bringing them together online with international professionals invited by the Institut français and the cultural network around the world.
