*1- Lucía Egaña <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-326-lucia-egana>(only available in Spanish): El código abierto permite replicar los códigos, modificarlos y cambiarlos por completo. No hay una noción privativa, que es lo que harían las corporaciones con sus softwares. Y esa figura del código abierto, que ha sido muy pensada en ámbitos tecnológicos y en ámbitos culturales, es interesante pensarla también en el terreno de lo corporal y del género. Hacer ese desplazamiento permite pensar de otra manera el cómo hemos sido escritas y abre la posibilidad de reescribirnos. * In this podcast we talk to artist, writer, teacher, and anti-racist transfeminist activist Lucía Egaña <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-326-lucia-egana> about pedagogical processes, bibliographic dissent, wild writing, and the generative and affirmative potential of rage. We discuss identity politics, single-sex spaces, friendship as an engine for research, and the power of processes organised around informality and affects.

The man who did it first – using a recording – was the Italian composer Ottorino Respighi who courted controversy by flying a nightingale out of the horn of a phonograph and into his tone poem ‘The Pines of Rome’, in 1924. That also made him the first person to introduce a recording into an orchestral work."* In PROBES #29 <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/probes-29>composers turn to nature, not as pastorale but as concrete musical resources. Chris Cutler looks at animals, vegetables and one or two minerals as they are directly incorporated into musical works, as leading voices: there are birds, wolves and whales, obviously, but also less cuddly creatures, plants, cacti, rocks and stones. We also consider some of the motives and ideologies at work, and hear minerals make sounds that are hard to credit.

A veces no se entiende la manifestación festiva catárquica, la de vamos a congregarnos, toquémonos, vibremos y bailemos. Es además una catarsis momentánea. Después vuelve la realidad. No es que vivas continuamente en una fiesta. Sino que esa fiesta produce una fuerza que se activa."* Cabello/Carceller <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-325-cabellocarceller> is the artist duo Helena Cabello and Ana Carceller. Since the early nineties, they have been questioning the arbitrariness and restrictions imposed by gender divisions on our bodies, spaces, representations and behaviour. In this podcast Cabello/Carceller infiltrate the arts institution and show how queer voices are systematically excluded from spaces of power, as well as museums and collections. Through their work, they invite us to reconsider the spaces we live in and leave, in order to queer them and turn them into transitional, unproductive places – sometimes melancholy, sometimes liberating – from which to imagine and activate new kinds of existence. Together, we activate the political potentiality of bodies, affects, festivity and collectivity. But we also acknowledge the solitary revolt of discordant bodies who, by their mere presence, are already doing politics Link: https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-325-cabellocarceller *4- **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.

Una utopística más vinculada, para usar una metáfora literaria, con volver a casa" * In this podcast we talk to Emilio Santiago Muiño <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-263-emilio-santiago-muino> about salad gardens in museums, social movements and public policies, about oil as a magical substance, about re-greening, ecofascism, acceleration, and degrowth, and about how an imaginary of more modest utopías may, in the long term, become a means of finding our way home.
