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.

Storage #2
Poetics and Politics of Storage and Circular Use

Following the Poetics and Politics of Storage and Circular Use research-action work group, this three-episode miniseries looks at the symptoms and possible responses to the current challenges of temporary storage and palliative curating of works and legacies. In this second instalment, Anna Manubens, David Bestué, Lucia C. Pino and Francesc Ruiz share experiments and valuable experiences to shape a new institutional hypothesis. They speak of celebratory arrivals, orchestrated destructions, unobscured forms of maintenance, and networks of adoption of works that involve care without ownership. They also explore the possibility of making space and creating forms of public memory that accompany heritage objects through their processes of decay, crumbling, and material transformation.

Coco Fusco

In this podcast, Cuban-American artist and writer Coco Fusco talks about her origins and about a family ecosystem that was always part United States and part Cuba, leading her to take on the role of translator from a very young age. We also talk about about unstable, anti-essentialist identities and, among other things, we look back at the impact of one of her early performances: Couple in The Cage: Two Undiscovered Amerindians Visit the West, created with Guillermo Gómez-Peña between 1992 and 1994.

Deleted scenes

We dig up some unreleased fragments of our conversation with architect, artist, and curator Paulo Tavares. Reflections that address the role of museums as spaces that shape public discourse, their involvement and relationship with ecology, sustainability, and the climate crisis, and how they can avoid falling into greenwashing rhetoric.

High latencies #5
Fernando Domínguez Rubio

In this podcast, we talk to sociologist Fernando Domínguez Rubio about the ecologies of care that fuel the fiction of artistic stability —a network of infrastructures, climate technologies, conservation laboratories and underground storage facilities, as well as the largely invisible workers whose labour is usually left out of the traditional narrative of art, even though it is pivotal. We talk about the constant struggle against entropy, reflecting on the physical and human resources devoted to it, but also on the ethical, political, and economic implications of trying to slow down the passage of time. Because the way Domínguez Rubio sees it, the museum is much more than a space for contemplation and a collective archive: it is a political and cultural technology aimed at freezing time, ordering the world, and determining what is worthy of conservation. We talk to Fernando Domínguez Rubio about regimes of objecthood, about storage facilities, memory, and greenhouses, about uniqueness, and about other ways of holding onto things.
