Manifestations distinguishes itself from other organizations, institutes and events by presenting international media art of high quality and social impact. This is the reason why we provide our sponsors the opportunity to reach an exceptionally broad and diverse audience.

It is more accessible than other exhibitions in the field of art and technology, partly because it is fun and its degree of “surprise” which are paramount for us. On previous editions of Manifestations, we have shown our visitors that art isn’t hard to understand and we learned that art & tech are for everyone.

Manifestations is for everyone

Manifestations distinguish itself from others through a motive of activism, digital activism.
The festival is organized from the strong desire for a beautiful and clear world in which humans and society comes first. These factors play an active role as the centre or the festival, every artwork allows visitors’ participation and interaction. Finally, Manifestations wants to remain agile to be able to follow and present the most updated development. This makes Manifestations an innovative event every year.

Manifestations is looking for inspirational, helpful and resourceful volunteers for its team to create and operate the Manifestations exhibition during this year’s Dutch Design Week. Become part of the future and volunteer at the most state-of-the-art Art,Tech & Design event!

Why volunteer at Manifestations?

As a member of the volunteers team of Manifestations you can play a role in the transformation movement to democratize technology. You can be assigned to different tasks from helping visitors and artists, to work in collaboration with other team members.

You may be welcoming visitors at the entrance or guiding them for a tour of the exhibition. Or you may assist our cutting-edge artists setting up and guard their artworks during their absence. Volunteers with strong hands and offering technical help are needed for the initial installation. The most outgoing volunteers can approach the general public in the surrounding streets and in town flyering for Manifestations. Volunteering photographers and video-graphers are invaluable to shoot during the exhibition and capture not only the artworks but also the fantastic vibe on this 9th floor of the Veemgebouw.

Volunteering means a great opportunity to share this unique experience surrounded by like-minded volunteers and professionals from different backgrounds!

Enter the future

Manifestations wants to bring society closer to art and technology by questioning how the digital transformation can affect our lives. We believe that art, design and technology’s mutual interest can kick-start people’s commitment and enable them to make well-informed choices.

We take care of our volunteers

Before, during and after the exhibition you will be assisted by Manifestations’ organisers. A Meetup will be organised prior to the start of DDW to get you acquainted with the exhibition and meet the team. You will have ample opportunity to speak to the artists and get familiar with their artworks. Our backstage area offers simple refreshments and seating. At the closure of Manifestations we will almost certainly look back on a unique and impressive experience together!
