Visual Arts at MIF25
Maja Lorkowska, Exhibitions EditorVisual arts have always been a core element of Manchester International Festival, with unique exhibitions that push the boundaries of how art can be displayed and encountered. MIF25 returns with artists as storytellers, sharing ancient knowledge, looking into the future or revealing the secrets of their studios, all the while seeking a deep connection with their viewers.

Shilpa Gupta considers the importance of language and experiences gathered along the way in shaping our identities in You are the place. Venture Arts‘ pop up studio allows us a peek into the studio of artist Michael Beard alongside others while An Inheritance sees local school children create time capsules to be opened in 100 years’ time, in a display as considered as it is moving.
