Utrecht Manifest 2nd Biennale for Social Design Was a Great SuccessThe second edition of Utrecht Manifest closed on 11 February 2008.
In the space of barely 11 weeks, more than 30,000 visitors and guests from the Netherlands and abroad visited this design biennale.
The aim of Utrecht Manifest is to shed light on the latest developments in the field of design and to explore them from a social perspective.
With this highly successful edition, the organisation has established a solid basis for future editions.
The following edition is scheduled for autumn 2009, and Utrecht Manifest will also take place in 2011 and 2013.
The public programme was rich and diverse: five exhibitions, debates, lectures and film screenings.
The exhibitions intendant, designer Ed Annink, oversaw a multidisciplinary satellite programme alongside the main programme.
The main exhibitions, Lovely Language - words divide, images unite and A Safe Place - Pictograms for disaster areas were enthusiastically received by press and public alike.
Dutch broadsheet NRC Handelsblad noted that Lovely Language "is a statement about the power of images" and ranked it among the three most important Dutch exhibitions of 2007.
