The manifesto is the material representation of a design philosophy. Every artist in their own field –be it
painting or music, architecture or sculpture, cinema or literature, can use the manifesto form in order to
project a personal vision of the practice onto the social realm: a document is written and presented to the
world in order to inspire others and produce change. As it acquires an audience, the manifesto becomes
‘activist’ socially and politically, it is an object that now assumes a role beyond the boundary of the artist’s
individuality.
