The standard

Who looks first

Behind every MANCHA selection there’s a curatorial council. It judges each work blind —no name, no country, no résumé— so the only thing that weighs is the work.

01

Blind evaluation

Each work is judged without knowing who made it. The work first; the artist after.

02

Collegiate judgment

Three independent eyes shape every decision. No one decides alone.

03

Permanent record

Every judgment is kept in MANCHA’s institutional archive.

The Founding Curatorial Council

Curators, critics and historians who lend their eye to MANCHA’s standard.

The council is being formed. We’ll introduce its members soon.

The direction stays anonymous

Whoever leads MANCHA chooses not to appear. It’s consistent with everything else: let the work speak, not the name — not even the name of who presents it.

Are you a curator or critic?

The council grows by invitation. If your eye can add something, introduce yourself.
