The Education Department of Manifesta is looking for a number of Art Mediators to realize the educational programs of Manifesta 9.

The 9th edition of Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art taking place in Genk, Limburg, Belgium from July 2 until September 30, 2012. For the first time in the history of Manifesta, the biennial will take place in one single venue. For Manifesta 9 the large-scale industrial complex of the former coalmine Waterschei in Genk has been chosen.

Taking into consideration the significance of the former Belgian coal mining region as a locus for discussing both the geographical and imaginary aspects of industrial capitalism as a global phenomenon, Manifesta 9 will develop as a unique dialogue between art, history and social reflection.

The full open call is on the website of Manifesta 9: http://manifesta9.org/en/news/open-call-for-art-mediators

The deadline for applications is November 20, 2011.

For any questions contact mediation@manifesta.org or T:  +32 (0) 89 71 04 44.
