*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.

Now, with the fragmentation that we have, I don't really know who hears me."* In this podcast, Reni Hofmüller <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-317-reni-hofmuller> shares her early commitment with radio, as well as her obsession with dismantling the invisible in order to understand and question it. A trip through time that takes us from the 1980s to the present, through her personal involvement in feminist discussions from the perspective of new media. Our conversation is riddled with references to her commitment to open source, to doing things together, to the uninhibited mixing of disciplines, and to her passion for the electromagnetic sphere and bicycles.

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.

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.

No recording was made, but it sounds like it must have been fun, so we’ve mocked one up for you.'* In this new episode of PROBES <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/buscador/radio/serie/probes-9468>, Chris Cutler follows the incorporation into new works of saws, sandpaper and power tools, artisans and knitting machines – and goes on to investigate the repurposing of radios and gramophones as musical resources. <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/probes-28> <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/probes-272-auxiliaries> <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/probes-272-auxiliaries> <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/probes-272-auxiliaries>Link: <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/probes-272-auxiliaries> https://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/probes-28 E/N/J/O/Y/
