FONS ÀUDIO #59
Marcelo Expósito
Marcelo Expósito “Fotoescrituras (Dedicada a Allan Sekula), 2019-2011”. MACBA Collection
Marcelo Expósito is an artist, editor and translator who also served as Secretary of the Congress of Deputies and Member of the Spanish Parliament between 2016 and 2019. His research reconstructs and updates sensible processes of the historical avant-gardes, thus bringing into the present the emancipatory, insurgent, self-determined radicality of the struggles that took place in the tradition of modernity. In FONS ÀUDIO #59, Marcelo revisits his work Photowritings 2011-2019 (Dedicated to Allan Sekula), a personal, sometimes intimate look at a series of collective experiences of self-determination and resistance. Marcelo talks about demonstrations, mass events and the occupation of public space, but also about micropolitical space and forms of bonding, empathy and solidarity.
Conversation: Verónica Lahitte, Antonio Gagliano and Anna Ramos. Script: Verónica Lahitte. Sound production: Antonio Gagliano. Post-production: Albert Tarrats.

POLYPHONIC MEMORIES FOR A SHARED PRESENT #2
Reflections at a critical juncture: Daniela Ortiz, Marcelo Expósito and Miguel Noguera
Overwhelmed by the institutionalised discourse of politics and economists, we invite artists, philosophers, researchers and poets to share their ideas about what is happening to us, to comment on the positive and negative implications of this structural crisis, and to imagine an uncertain future.
Allan Sekula
Interview with Allan Sekula about the relationship between art and photography, about artistic activism, the role of the artist in the public sphere and "Waiting for Tear Gas".
Suely Rolnik
In this podcast we talk to psychoanalyst, writer and academic Suely Rolnik about micropolitics and macropolitics, about the common and the subjective. We talk about air and about the present, and about how difficult it has become to inspire and to conspire. We abandon the idea of the apocalypse but also that of paradise. We turn our attention to spiders, pausing to observe their strong and flexible threads, and we consider creating provisional spiderwebs to allow the emergence of other worlds. For this weaving, Suely borrows and tells us about Guarani terms such as ñe'é, which means word and also soul.
Gerald Raunig
Interview with Gerald Raunig about Molecular Revolution, philosophical activism, and the differences and similarities between recent social movements and those of the late nineteen sixties.
Maria Eugenia Rodriguez Palop
María Eugenia Rodríguez Palop talks about “new municipalism” , about the need to adapt justice and human rights to citizen empowerment, about the left’s failure and about the need to recognise ourselves as vulnerable, interdependent beings, and to adapt our public policies accordingly, from a feminist activist perspective.
