abolition
Nicolás Malevé and Jara Rocha
In this podcast, we talk with Nicolás Malevé and Jara Rocha about infrastructures, software programmes and museums. We turn our attention to changes of scale, algorithms, black boxes, epistemicides and cybercides, and we explore the notions of service, access, and air as controversies: what is triggered by changes in temperature, in marketing strategies, and in web render formats? What materialities are suspended in response to these changes? We also consider palliative care and abolition as possible strategies for dismantling world-forms that should cease to exist, and think about how new forms—which we may not yet have managed to imagine—may be generated in this process.
Lola Olufemi
Black feminist writer, organiser, and thinker Lola Olufemi's political and creative work has been shaped by over a decade of feminist activism—both within institutions and far beyond them. In this podcast, she invites us to embrace non-linearity, atemporal connections, and fragmentation—both in our organising and in how we write and research. She reflects on feminist legacies, the need to think beyond binaries of success and failure, and how imagination is not a luxury but a political necessity. We also explore the ethics of solidarity, the material conditions of care, and the radical power of listening—to each other, to the past, and to the unheard.
