Under the title It matters what world worlds world: how to tell stories otherwise, the programme was co-developed by Creative Mediator Catherine Nichols with the Manifesta 14 team in close collaboration with local collectives, artists, scholars, architects, and activists. The former Hivzi Sulejmani Library of Pristina has been renovated into the Centre for Narrative Practice and Oaza education space, which will open to the public on the 23 July.
