*1- 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.

*2- OBJECTHOOD #7
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/objecthood-7>: Everything is an
ecosystem, at the end of the day.” (Dave Phillips)*
This new episode of Roc Jiménez de Cisneros' OBJECTHOOD
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/buscador/radio/serie/objecthood-9471> series
features conversations with Diego Falconi, Rick Dolphijn, Dave Phillips,
and music by Kali Malone. A spiral-shaped trip about fire, burning, ashes,
rituals, cooking, food, and jungles. Though it is also about everything
that lies in between and beneath each and every one of those things. The
invisible micropolitics of food in the military; the symbolic charge of
ashes, solid remains of an intangible object – fire – which has shaped this
planet for millions of years; the untold gender-related motifs behind the
Aimara genocide; a circular, cyclical perception of time; or the role and
relevance of ecosystems, even beyond the good old wildlife cliché –
because, you know, “everything is an ecosystem, at the end of the day”.

*3- Lars Holdhus/TCF:
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-312-lars-holdhustcf>“Observing
something is very underrated”*
The work of the sound artist Lars Holdhus, aka TCF, interrogates our
relation to the technological infrastructures that permeate contemporaneity
through language, code, cryptography and, most recently, ecology. En este
podcast, Lars aboga por la presencia y la conciencia. Between tea sips, he
reflects on toolmaking and impact, A.I. and the obsession with flesh, human
time and machine time. He also points out how boring technology becomes
when you are 70% Buddhist, while introducing us to his latest projects: a
virtual touring software teasing the limits of the live music industry and
a random processing tool that he feeds and confronts to compose and create
images. <

*4- *Fefa Vila: <

de nuestros lemas era *defínite
* y cambia' (only available in Spanish)*
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-312-lars-holdhustcf>
In this podcast, Fefa Vila
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-307-fefa-vila> reflects aloud on
queerness as a state of radical estrangement, which is constantly being
redefined. She also outlines a lucid, emotive genealogy of the queer,
feminist, and sexual dissidence movements in the Spanish state from the
1970s to the present, which branches out in multiple lines of flight. A
collective dissidence that was seen in the emancipatory struggles of the
1970s and reverberates today. Fefa also talks about the need to experience
other forms of sociability, other affective-relational models, about
motherhood, lesbian motherhood, and about the urgency, in short, of
politically addressing this major unresolved issue, from the perspective of
feminism.

*5- Anja Kanngieser:
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-314-anja-kanngieser> "I don't know
what climate justice could exist when the reality is that Kiribati will be
gone. It's undeniable. Kiribati will be gone. You think about what justice
would mean. At the moment it's conversations around loss and damages. How
could you ever compensate for that? An entire land gone and indigenous
people displaced forever."*
Political geographer and sound artist Anja Kanngieser
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-314-anja-kanngieser> works in the
coordinates between space and sound. This merging of disciplines that seems
completely normal to her tends to be more perplexing to the
compartmentalised world of science and academia than to the undisciplined
field of artistic practice. In this podcast, we become the listeners as Anja
Kanngieser reflects on expanded listening, on the inaudible, and on our
anthropocentrism. They talk about their long-standing interest in sound
governance and dissect the many tensions that built up in the project
“Climates of Listening”, which was originally based on the intention of
amplifying campaigns for self-determination and self-representation in the
Pacific. *This podcast is part of Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the
