Mabel O. WIlson
In this podcast, we start by asking architect, curator and researcher Mabel O. Wilson to talk about her personal, educational, and professional development, in response to a lack or silencing of critical thought. We then discuss ideas of land, property, and possession, and also—based on the context of her recent trip to the West Bank—colonial encounters, spatial aspects of enclosures, and degrees of containment. Mabel reminds younger generations of the importance of using architecture not just as a means to build and design, but also to gather, observe, and build relations, to understand history from a different perspective, and to survive within the current socio-political climate, without giving in to despair.

Marcelo Expósito
In this podcast, we talk to the artist, editor, translator and activist 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.
