<
https://rwm.macba.cat/es/sonia/sonia-324-juan-dominguez> “¿Qué vamos a
hacer juntos en este tiempo presente para construir realidad?” (only
available in Spanish)*
A key figure in the field of live arts, Juan Domínguez describes himself as
“a conceptual clown, magical cowboy, model-poet, and curator of pleasure.”
His artistic body of work is situated both in and out of choreography, and
champions excess as well as measure.

*2- **Professor Oyèwùmi:
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-303-oyeronke-oyewumi> "Part of what I
am doing is to historicize how gender became important in the colonies as
the result of the fact that the colonizers brought their ideas about
gender. That is the crook of the matter."*
In this podcast, Professor Oyèwùmi
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-303-oyeronke-oyewumi> talks about
age, seniority, and respect, about unscrupulousness and academia,
dispossession and spirituality. She considers the oxymoron of the notion of
“single mother” from the point of view of Yoruba culture, and she also
notes how observance of community practices from non-Western cultures may
be an unnecessary step as we face the planetary challenges to come.

*3- Elaine Gan: <
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-323-elaine-gan> “To
talk about rice I also had to talk about water, sunlight, soil, insects,
bacteria, fungi. I had to talk about rivers, continents. And then,
suddenly, rice, which is a very small seed, is as big as the world. It took
a lot of different tools to be able to follow it."*
In this podcast, artist and researcher Elaine Gan
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-323-elaine-gan> talks about crop
science, feral technologies, the global pandemic, radical difference,
natureculture, the art of noticing, Matsutake mushrooms, and, of course,
rice.

*4- André Lepecki
<
http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/andre-lepecki-/capsula>: “The first function
of choreography was to organize heteronormativity, reproduction, the state
and a war machine.”*
Theorist and academic André Lepecki talks about the chronopolitics of
disappearance, dance, Louis XIV, the acquisition of choreography,
testimonial power, object-oriented ontologies, choreopolicing, the writing
of movement, and selfies.

*5- Chris Cutler
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/probes-282-auxiliaries>: "In 1997, out
of nowhere, so to say, came a 4-CD set called The Conet Project: Recordings
of Shortwave Numbers Stations. Number stations, which broadcast voices
reciting numbers – generally understood to be governments communicating
with spies abroad – were, although familiar to every shortwave enthusiast,
never mentioned in public discourse, not even in spy fiction."*
In this episode Beethoven is reorchestrated with power tools and a variety
orchestra partners with canteen equipment while radios, gramophones and
telephones explore their new vocation as performing instruments, and become
the subjects of formal composition.
