Title: The Echoing Silences of Metal and Skin
Commissioner: Hana Halilaj
Curator: Erëmirë Krasniqi
Artist: Doruntina Kastrati
Kastrati’s project brings into public view women’s narratives, who work at the margins of society. Close to one third of women undergo knee replacement surgery; the metal objects surgically implanted in their knees are material traces of their long working hours yielding little pay.
Intending to prompt reflection on why and how exploitative labor practices have been able to persist, the artist will do so abstractly, emphasizing the embodied characteristics of materials, particularly metal. Loaded with discreet and quiet symbolism, representing estrangement of working-class women, the project comes together in a web of associations, references, and stories.
OPENING TIMES: Wed – Mon 11am – 5pm

Museo Storico Navale della Marina Militare, Riva S. Biasio, 2148, 30122 Venezia VE, Italy
