This week Manifesta announced that Manifesta 8, the latest in the series of European art biennials, was going to be held in 2010 in Murcia in southern Spain. Curator/founder/director Hedwig Fijen gave the reasons to the Spanish press:

“We have chosen Murcia because it is a place of transit and crossing of cultures and because it is a region which has two faces two of the most urgent
challenges facing humankind, those of immigration and water.”
