Banners
Embroidered banners are often used by the artist in her participatory projects. For their realisation, Senatore relies on the collaboration with local artisans to sew mottos, songs, and poems. These large banners refer to the tradition of gonfalons, as well as to the large textile posters of workers’ movements and unions. The artist combines opposing yet united systems, associated by the textile element.
