Maša Seničić (Belgrade, 1990) is devoted to multiple forms of text in her work: as a poet, a researcher, an essayist and an editor. Seničić is the co-programmer of Brave Balkans (Belgrade Auteur Film Festival), the program director of Filmkultura –  association dedicated to informal education of youth in audiovisual culture, while she is also pursuing her PhD thesis at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, where she completed her BA and MA studies. As an author and an editor, she was part of numerous media outlets and self-initiated or institutional art publications, and in the role of a moderator, coordinator and/or mentor she participated in various local and international programs, workshops and events, primarily in the field of film and literature. Seničić is focused on interdisciplinary researches rooted in diverse textual and and/or archival materials, built within an experimental framework; some of them were framed as independent exhibitions (The Golden Coast) or as part of collective exhibitions/workshops/publications (The Cultural Center of Belgrade, Institute of Network Cultures, Museum of Yugoslavia...). Her prose, poetry and essays can be found in anthologies, collections and online/offline magazines in the ex-Yugoslav region and across Europe. She published two books of poetry: Okean (2015, awarded the Mladi Dis prize) and Povremena poput vikend-naselja, (2019, awarded the Dušan Vasiljev prize). As a freelance author, Seničić contributes to and initiates multilayered collaborations and publishing ventures. She is predominantly interested in books: as texts, as spaces and as printed objects.

Remaining focused on my previous practice, based on the poetics of space, I would like to explore Lanzarote’s waterways, tackling the environmental anxiety and the destruction of natural resources. My aim is to write an experimental interdisciplinary piece, consisting of both intimate and documentary / archival materials. I wish to produce a text that is itself fluid, reflecting on the local relationships to oceans, pools, ravines and reservoirs. This will result in a poetic publication, a chapbook, ideally fully developed and possibly even printed / bound on the island. Hoping to present it in a performative / site-specific manner I will particularly engage with the landscape and look for ways to make it interwoven with the text. A working title for the project is Ravenous Ravines.
