*2006-2021: 15 years of Radio Web MACBA <https://rwm.macba.cat/>...* *And our five most listened podcasts so far!*
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.

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”. *This podcast is part of Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.* Link: https://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/objecthood-7 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. <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-312-lars-holdhustcf> *This podcast is part of Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.* Link: https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-312-lars-holdhustcf 4- *val flores: <https://rwm.macba.cat/ca/sonia/val-flores-main/capsula> "De algún modo, cuando una se nombra como lesbiana en la escuela habilita una posibilidad de ser, otra posibilidad de existencia, otra posibilidad de vivir los cuerpos. (…) Había ahí una suerte de interferencia en esa construcción histórica de la identidad docente, que es una profesión altamente feminizada, pero también heterosexualizada. " (only available in Spanish)* *Nos tomamos unos mates con val flores mientras conversamos sobre pedagogía queer, escritura y microactivismos. Hablamos sobre la práctica docente como práctica política, sobre lo queer como forma de disidencia capaz de activar saberes deshetrosexualizantes y sobre la necesidad de articular nuevos modos de habitar y escribir nuestras identidades que derriben las fronteras del género, la raza y la clase.* Link: https://rwm.macba.cat/ca/sonia/val-flores-main/capsula 5- *Mark Fisher: <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-148-mark-fisher-mark-fisher> As a result of the decomposition of older forms of solidarity, people are made to be increasingly responsible for themselves, or made to feel as if they are responsible for themselves. In the UK now, the complaint that’s most treated by the National Health Service is depression. Depression is a political problem.* This podcast is the result of a conversation with Mark Fisher <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-148-mark-fisher-mark-fisher>in 2012 on crisis, insurrection, and the dangerous idea of capitalism as the only conceivable container.
