We Rise by Lifting Others We Rise by Lifting Others is a new art for social impact project by Marinella Senatore, developed in collaboration with The Human Safety Net and presented at the Casa di The Human Safety Net in Venice on the occasion of the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. On view from 7 May 2026 to 22 March 2027, the exhibition unfolds as a shared experience centred on inclusion, resilience and collective potential. The project emerged from a participatory process involving families supported by The Human Safety Net and several of its NGO partners in Warsaw, Mestre and Palermo. Through a series of workshops based on writing, storytelling and movement, Senatore created spaces of listening and exchange, transforming lived experiences, words and narratives into visual material.
Conceived as a collective event situated within the international context of the Biennale, the exhibition takes shape through a monumental luminaria and a series of tapestries that weave together images and texts generated during the workshops, marking a new phase in the artist’s research. Landscape, understood as a relational and symbolic space, becomes a central element of the project, shaping a choral narrative in which vulnerability is reimagined as a shared resource. In dialogue with the permanent exhibition A World of Potential, We Rise by Lifting Others interprets and amplifies The Human Safety Net’s mission, reaffirming the role of art as a universal language capable of activating communities and generating meaningful and lasting impact.
