Aura Satz in Rome: ‘She Recalibrates’ at Auditorium Parco della Musica

Aura Satz – She Recalibrates: solo exhibition at Auditorium Parco della Musica

When: 24 April – 14 June 2026

Where: Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone, Rome

Aura Satz, a Spanish‑British artist working across film, sound and installation, debuts her first solo exhibition in Italy titled She Recalibrates / Lei ricalibra. The show highlights women’s often overlooked role in the history of electronic music through film portraits, audio works and a series of drawings that translate sonic gestures into visual form.

What to see

• Film portraits focused on pioneers such as Daphne Oram, Laurie Spiegel and Beatriz Ferreyra, documenting technologies, compositional approaches and sonic memory.
• The Listening Cobweb (2024), a film about percussionist Evelyn Glennie and embodied listening practices.
• The She Recalibrates drawings, rendered in pencil on black paper and presented with lenticular lenses to create a diffraction effect that encourages viewer movement and active engagement.

Why visit

The exhibition offers a feminist and critical reading of electronic music history and invites visitors to actively "recalibrate" their listening. Works combine archival research and poetic inquiry, proposing fresh perspectives on sound production and musical technologies.

Practical info

Opening hours: free entry Monday–Friday 16:00–20:00; Sundays and holidays 11:00–20:00.

Concurrently, at the Spanish Academy in Rome the audio work Dial Tone Drone (2014) — a telephone conversation between Laurie Spiegel and Pauline Oliveros — will be available in the Salone dei Ritratti from 22 April.

Visitor tip: the show rewards attentive listening; allow time to watch the videos in full and to move around the installations to perceive the lenticular and spatial effects.
