Manifesto Series develops and exposes fresh, new ideas in a short, precise and concise manner. The events reinvigorate and reinvent the manifesto format as a way of exchanging ideas forcing the participants to denounce a present or past condition, proclaim an alternative present, past or future situation and indicate a strategy or method to achieve its announced goals.
