Son[i]a #419

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. Through his research, he reconstructs and updates some of the sensible processes of the historical avant-gardes. As such, he brings into the present the emancipatory, insurgent, self-determined radicality of the struggles that are part of the tradition of modernity. His practice revolves around expressive media such as photography, writing, conversation and interviews, connecting seemingly superficial events and ephemeral moments with historical threads of resistance. In light of the current crises and neoliberalism’s intensification towards new forms of fascism, Expósito works closely with the materials and the tactile memory of these historical struggles in order to catalyse processes of restitution and healing from the violence we face on a daily basis. 

In this podcast, we talk to Marcelo Expósito about scales and oratories, about artistic methodologies, political imagination and herbariums. We look at constitutional leaps that broaden opportunities for listening and remind us—from the South—of the rights of the earth, rivers and mountains. Marcelo also tells us about how recombining existing laws and treaties can be a way of updating valuable constructive procedures and reinvigorating non-fascist ways of life, in this new context of historical breakdown.

In FONS ÀUDIO #61, Mireia Sallarès talks to us about her works in the MACBA collection. We plunge right in with Literatura de Replà, una relectura [Literature on the landing, A Rereading] (2014), Mireia’s first work to enter the MACBA Collection—although it may one day leave it—before moving disjointedly to Història potencial de Francesc Tosquelles, Catalunya i la Por [Potential History of Francesc Tosquelles, Catalunya, and Fear] (2021), a public service for the people of Catalonia. As the conversation unfurls in the opposite order to how it took place, we finish with Las Muertas Chiquitas [Little Deaths] (2009-2016), which Sallarès tells us she can always revisit to find a quote.

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.
