Future Manifestos Conference

A four-day focus program within Meta.Morf 2026 that brings together the opening of the Future Manifestos group exhibition, a two-day conference, and performances across K-U-K, DIGS, and Rosendal Teater, exploring new artistic and theoretical “manifestos” for the age of AI. Featuring contributions by !Mediengruppe Bitnik, Boris Debackere, Boris Eldagsen, Andy Gracie, Vanessa Graf, and more.

“The Future Manifestos Conference gathers speakers who dare to pose dangerous questions and issue bold declarations about how to think, create, and act in a world increasingly conditioned by Artificial Intelligence.” — Zane Cerpina, Artistic Director at TEKS


Over one extended weekend, Future Manifestos turns Trondheim into a meeting point for artists, researchers, and publics who want to rethink how AI and emerging technologies shape cultural and political futures. The program combines the exhibition opening at Kjøpmannsgata Ung Kunst (April 9, 18:00), daytime conference sessions at DIGS (April 10–11, 10:00–14:30), an evening theatre piece at Rosendal Teater (April 10, 20:00), and live performances at K-U-K (April 11, 16:00–17:30).
