Prior to our Manifesto Workshop next week, I have been looking into what is meant by 'manifesto' and some examples. statement of intent. group rules. political/ artistic declaration. ethics. beliefs and policies. professional. taken seriously.
I find the concept of the manifesto really interesting, and definitely a skill that I would like to incorporate into my own practice next year.
The first written Manifesto 'The Futurist Manifesto', 1909: http://vserver1.cscs.lsa.umich.edu/~crshalizi/T4PM/futurist-manifesto.html
I have been looking in particular at artistic forms of manifestos, interested in both the written, and the layout of the pieces. The artistic manifesto gives room for the artist to express himself through words and design, a lot like how we are advised to write our creative CVs.
