Valentina Magaletti + Dali de Saint Paul

Valentina Magaletti + Dali de Saint Paul at Arnolfini

A gig held at Arnolfini on Friday 20th November. The event starts at 19:30.


Percussionist Valentina Magaletti (Moin, Vanishing Twin, Tomaga) and vocalist Dali de Saint Paul headline a night of music, performance and film subverting our responses to warning.

With a new film by artist Aura Satz, a performance by dancer and choreographer Holly Thomas, and a new sound installation by Mark Titchner.

Bristol-based raw vocalist Dali de Saint Paul has been experimenting since 2012. Her approach blurs sonic lines between voice and instrument and destabilises spatial and linguistic borders.

Valentina Magaletti is a queer drummer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and curator who treats percussion as a political and poetic instrument—an unruly body that refuses straight lines, fixed identities, and normative rhythms. Her work dismantles the boundaries between noise, ritual, and music, transforming ceramics, found objects, and skin-based textures into tools for resistance and queer world-building.

Aura Satz's practice encompasses film, sound, performance and sculpture. Her work explores a distributed, expanded, and shared notion of voice using dialogue as both method and subject matter.

Holly Thomas is a dance artist, choreographer and performer. In her practice she explores the often uncharted territory of dance and visual impairment, and the aesthetics of choreography from a non-visual perspective.

Mark Titchner’s work focuses on an exploration of words and language in the public realm through public interventions  that are often created from group activities, working particularly with young people and in mental health settings. He was nominated for the 2006 Turner Prize for his Arnolfini exhibition IT IS YOU.
