Marinella Senatore criticizes labels and institutional gaps in Artribune podcast

In an Artribune podcast monologue curated by Donatella Giordano, artist Marinella Senatore denounces the media's tendency to label artists by their medium, arguing that language should be an opportunity rather than a category. She advocates for museums and art centers to become true community hubs, citing Quad in Derby, UK, and La Casa Encendida in Madrid as positive examples. Senatore also criticizes Italy's lack of residency programs, insufficient financial support for international residencies, and the absence of legal recognition for artists as workers with rights and contracts, which she says undermines Italian artistic practice. Her multidisciplinary background includes conservatory training, technical-scientific study of cinematography, and university teaching worldwide, informing her work in audiovisual media, collage, large installations, photography, and participatory performance.
