The exhibition brings together artists, scientists, and theorists to examine economic globalisation and consider alternative practices, with a focus on regionality, biodiversity, and future generations. ACC held a symposium in October 2024 to kickstart curatorial research for the exhibition and expand the discourse beyond the Anthropocene, spotlighting new perspectives on capitalist value systems and their entanglement with the natural world. The exhibition is a manifesto for the future—the spring that we hope for, in which all species can coexist. Participating artists include ikkibawiKrrr, Kim Soun Gui, Kelvin Kyung Kun Park, Anne Duk Hee Jordan, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, Ho Rui An, Zheng Bo, Chan Sook Choi, Hito Steyerl, Connie Zheng, and others whose works address ecological and social issues through interdisciplinary approaches. This exhibition features twelve new commissioned works.

Manifesto of Spring is co-curated by Kim Jiha, Senior Curator, ACC; Lim Liwon, Curator, ACC; Jeon Minsu, Assistant Curator, ACC; Silke Schmickl, CHANEL Senior Curator, Head of Moving Image, M+; Kelly Li, Assistant Curator, Moving Image, M+; Alistair Hudson, Scientific-Artistic Chairman, ZKM; and Clara Runge, Curator, ZKM.
