Manzi Art Space:

Founded in December 2012, Manzi Art Space is an independent contemporary art center, which challenges traditional perception and boundaries of art forms. Our mission is to promote contemporary arts and build new audiences for the art and we do so through a wide range of visual art exhibitions, film screenings, talks, music concerts and workshops, literature events and art in public projects.

In 2020, thanks to the Goethe Institut, Manzi open our 2nd space which is just a one-minute walk from the current one. This new space consists of a multi-functional exhibition room and a residency studio for artists.

The art residency programme is made possible with the valuable support from the Goethe-Institut.
