RELATED STORIES

Senatore is a multidisciplinary artist who dives into practices of non-hierarchical learning and participatory art. Over the years, she has explored forms of resistance, vernacular and popular culture, dance, music and activism, in order to rethink the political nature of community action and reconcile individuals and collective bodies.

To do this, she experiments with radio broadcasts, street festivals, operas, musicals and processions such as The School of Narrative Dance (2012-ongoing), centered on the emancipatory power of storytelling, agency and public action.

The Senator’s Exhibition something about you, currently at Blitz, is a 10-year investigation bringing together paintings, drawings, videos, a powerful project with Russian protest group Pussy Riot showcasing a new site-specific organic sculpture.

The exhibition also features a public artwork on the historic facade of the Casino Maltese in Valletta.

Remember the first time you saw your name (2020) is a powerful phrase in a bold red light composition dominating St George Square, Valletta, for the duration of the exhibition. The artwork is an enchanting blast from the past, evoking the Maltese custom of celebrating community at village fetes and annual events with swags, luminaries and light installations.

This exhibition is intended to inspire dialogue in Malta, at a time when collective action seems to be the most effective tool for a new beginning and the birth of communities.

As biopolitical philosopher Judith Butler says, “Freedom doesn’t come from me or you; it can and does happen as a relationship between us, or, indeed, between us.

While emphasizing the stories and hidden potentials of individuals, Senatore does not distinguish between so-called low and high culture, and embraces the power of decontextualization to open conceptual windows into an ever-changing humanity. evolution represented in a plural form.

Something About You is open by appointment until the end of July according to the following hours: Wednesday to Friday, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
