*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.

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.

(only available in Spanish)* For the Columbian collective Laagencia <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/buscador/radio?key=laagencia>, mediation and education are indistinguishable from artistic practice. Laagencia first opened its doors in 2010 in the Chapinero district of Bogotá, as an office for art projects with an exhibition space, run by Mariana Murcia, Diego García, Santiago Pinyol, Mónica Zamudio and Sebastián Cruz. Five years later it was rebooted as a collective thinking and study group open to methodological experimentation and informality, always looking for ways to organise new forms of “doing with others”. In this ensemble podcast, we talk with them about these ten years of "extitution". <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-315-laagencia> <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-315-laagencia> Link: <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-315-laagencia> https://rwm.macba.cat/en/buscador/radio?key=laagencia *4- Jennifer Walshe: “I am a terrible 'divil', as we would say in Ireland, for writing down overheard conversations. I love being in really obnoxious hipster cafés, cause people talk very loudly and the conversations are hilarious and you write it all down. (...) But it’s fascinating to me, cause this is how real people speak!”.* Jennifer Walshe <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-316-jennifer-walshe> studied composition and often performs as a vocalist, but her practice and a whopping list of works over the past twenty years put her in a twilight zone where music, performance art, theatre and stage writing intersect and converge. Walshe’s approach to texts, scripts and musical scores is based on a recursive process, a kind of feedback loop which includes and acknowledges all sorts of information about the text itself – the context and paratext. In this podcast, we talk to Jennifer Walshe about writing, annotating, teaching, collecting, eavesdropping, performing, faking, and a touch of machine learning.

Her research projects, talks, workshops and art pieces slip through the cracks of corporate behemoths to make sense of their polymorphic nature and reveal some of the hidden layers that shape and sustain the hypercapitalist fractal. In this podcast, we talk to Joana Moll about interfaces and their social implications, about technocolonialism, agency, surveillance, exploitation, speculation and, why not, about laughter.
