Lola Olufemi
more
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.

Teresa Rubio
more
In this podcast, cultural mediator, educator, and collage artist Teresa Rubio fills us in on her way of understanding (and putting into practice) the third space that emerges in mediation. Much more than simply providing a few sofas, mediation entails being among and with others, which also opens up “other ways” of occupying and inhabiting the museum. For Teresa, mediation inherently contains performance, listening, and reproductive care work. Moreover, it is as much about individual authorship as it is about collective writing. And in order to realise its full potential, it often needs to be an internal process too.

We dig up some unreleased fragments of our conversation with Open-weather’s researcher-designer Sophie Dyer and creative geographer Sasha Engelmann, which we couldn’t include the first time around. They share their “origin story” while demonstrating “live” their collaborative dynamic. The poetics and materiality of radio, in its capacity to sense and to resonate at a distance, emerge as a tool for insightful alliances, as well as speculative and radical experiments, from the Feminist Antifascist Weather Front to radio mirrors.

In the second episode of this series we pick up where we left off in our conversation with Lluïsa Roca, Luisa Ortínez, Xefo Guasch and Carles Ameller. With them, we explore Vídeo-Nou’s working methodologies, which were developed on the go, in the field, by doing things: because video was a new medium at the time, and because, together, they were inventing a system of transversal collaboration through which to capture the views and demands of a society eager to express itself after forty years of dictatorship, censorship and repression. Vídeo-Nou saw video as a mechanism for social engagement and intervention, making space for listening, conversation and debate as creative tools. Through video, the group became actively involved in neighbourhoods, community centres and associations, trade unions, and cultural spaces, opening up platforms for dialogue.
