Manibus – International Festival of Art and Enterprise intends to short-circuit the specialised codes of craft or industrial manufacture with the vision and prismatic perspective of the artist. Thanks to the Residencies, the artists establish a dialogue and collaboration with companies, artisans, and craftsmen from all over Apulia coming to Costa dei Trulli during the Festival. The aim is to build a shared project together, one whose purpose is to amplify local resources, develop alternative tourism, and increase the unexpressed or only partially utilised potential of handicrafts.
