Manifesta 12: Hedwig Fijen and Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli
Hedwig Fijen, director of Manifesta, and Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli, creative mediator of Manifesta 12 and partner of the architecture studio OMA, open up about the themes impregnating the latest edition of their itinerant event. Using the city of Palermo as their focal point, they reflect on the complexities of the contemporary world, the research process that led to the making of Atlas, the comprehensive publication condensing the study of the town’s histories and voices, and the many projects realized specifically for the city, involving not only artists and thinkers, but also its native inhabitants.

Hana Miletić “Dependencies” at WIELS, Brussels
With Dependencies, on show at WIELS, Brussels, Hana Miletić presents a new series of works that deal with the act of weaving. In conversation with Vincent van Velsen, the artist, who has a background in photography, opens up about the implications of weaving—a craft that allows her to connect with her childhood in former Yugoslavia —as an act of care, repair and collaboration, a lengthy process that also allows her to reflect on issues of representation and social reproduction, while giving insights about her use of photography and the linkages between photography and weaving.
