mothering

En aquest podcast, la imatge es converteix en un dispositiu des del qual es nuen relacions complexes, amb agència i multitud d'agents que les componen, que els donen i treuen sentit. L'artista visual i investigadora Ona Bros traça un recorregut gairebé cronològic de la seva trajectòria vital i, des del balboteig, la impropietat i la pregunta, sosté imaginaris i altres maneres d'estar i posar-se en relació. Acció directa, imatges que taquen, porno ètic, cossos gestants i comunitats de gel fan lloc a la sensació permanent de no pertànyer i la necessitat de sostenir de la vida.

In this podcast, researcher, writer and curator Tania Safura Adam takes us inside her research processes and strategies to revive the individual and collective memories of blackness in Spain: an urgent and tenacious writing operation based on fragments that are often scattered and disjointed. The public dissemination of these silenced and ignored narratives has the power to make us feel uncomfortable, and in this discomfort lies the potential for transformation. We also talk about gaps in the archive, about potential archives, and about what it means to take responsibility for this. And on a more personal note, about what motherhood and child rearing in the diaspora means for her and for many other women.

In this podcast, Brazilian writer and organizer Carol Stampone speaks about writing as her first experience of belonging, motherhood as a deeply transformative and often traumatic process, and the politics of empathy and compassion. She reflects on the importance of asking better questions rather than seeking definitive answers, inviting us to stay with uncertainty, to think with others, and to imagine forms of living, caring, and creating that remain open, relational, and unfinished.

In this podcast, we talk to the artist, filmmaker and educator Rehana Zaman about diaspora, collectivity, and infrastructures of care; about the studio as a social testing ground, and about film as both process and result. We reflect on alliances, representation, polyvocality, and authorship. We also discuss institutional agendas and the political urgency of coming together. We consider how to sustain the power of such encounters without slipping into empty gestures, and how to maintain artistic practices grounded in listening, humour, responsibility, and being together.
