ART MEDIATION

Manifesta 7 is a trajectory of different artistic positions and practices. We would like to position Manifesta as an environment in which everyone feels comfortable enough to ask questions and to engage in discussion. Art Education will not be presented on a didactical level only, but is approached mostly in terms of mediating discussion and interaction. Information is not an end in its own; we do not want to restrict the role of the audience to the receiving end of a monologue. With the aid of background information, whether supplied or already internalized, we want to stimulate dialogues and enable audiences to articulate their own well founded opinion about contemporary art and its role in society.

h2. GUIDED TOURS
Guided tours in English, Italian and German are available during regular opening hours. Tours last one hour and are available at each location. The maximum group size for all tours is 15 persons. Larger groups can be accommodated, but will need to be split into smaller groups. Tours can be booked separately, or for a more complete overview of the Manifesta 7 trajectory as a package including more venues.

Please note that prices exclude admission charges.
An entrance ticket valid for al venues costs € 15
Free entry for children and teenagers under 18, students, disabled people and seniors over 65.
Should your group have particular interests as far as the content of the tour is concerned please inform us. We will gladly take your wishes into account.

h2. ART MEDIATION FOR SCHOOLS
Our team, which consists of 20 Art Mediators both from Trentino-South Tyrol and abroad, cordially invites pupils and students of all ages for an encounter with contemporary art. For each of the venues of Manifesta 7 we have developed special programs suitable for all ages and grades.
