The jury wishes to highlight Manuben’s trajectory and knowledge of Hangar’s specific structure, the narrative and discursive lines that were set out in her project, as well as the transversality and sustainability in the field of material, thematic and human resources.

The competition for the direction of Hangar for the period 2022–2025, was held by a public call that was open until the 26th of September 2021, having had a total of 14 submissions. The jury has positively valued the reception of this call as well as the quality of the proposals and profiles that have competed in it. Of these 14 candidates, 5 were shortlisted for subsequent interviews. Anna Manubens will start her position on the 2nd of January 2022, and until then she will prepare her transition working alongside Lluís Nacenta.

Hangar’s team would like to acknowledge the work carried out by the outgoing director, Lluís Nacenta -who decided not to run again-. Working hand in hand with the centre’s team, Nacenta has been able to implement the care, direction and quality of Hangar’s programmes and services at a time of global pandemic and to expand the centre’s connections in the European cultural network with remarkable success.
