Manuale per viaggiatori brings together texts, stories and working materials by Marinella Senatore, one of the most acclaimed figures on the international contemporary art scene. Through writing, oral storytelling, performance and collective imagination, the book explores some of the artist’s most significant projects, offering readers an insight into the living creative processes that underpin her practice.
From Sicilian mining communities to urban neighbourhoods, choirs, shared memories and collective narratives, Senatore’s writing becomes a meeting point between art and life, where individual stories unfold into a broader communal dimension. The volume weaves together poetic fragments, notes, dramaturgical texts and reflections on community engagement, transforming the book into a sensitive archive of voices, images and imaginaries.
Manuale per viaggiatori is an invitation to enter the mechanisms of participatory art and the shared construction of contemporary storytelling. Published in the Attese series by Krill Books, edited by Flavio de Marco, the volume offers a rare insight into the genesis of an artistic practice grounded in relationships, attentive listening and the possibility of imagining new forms of community together.
