Zarina Muhammad/The White Pube
more
In this podcast, we speak with Zarina Muhammad, who walks us through The White Pube’s collaborative process and projects to date. We delve into Zarina’s diasporic identity and the politics of assimilation, as well as polyvocal narratives and fiction as critique. We explore the embodied experience of writing their first book, Poor Artists, and ask why a bingo card can sometimes say more than a press release

Jose Iglesias García-Arenal
more

In a country like Spain, where rural areas have historically been subject to dispossession and marginalisation, Jose’s work reveals the ravages of extractivism, from lithium mining to solar panel monocultures. He links these practices to historical processes of conquest, latifundism, and the privatisation of the countryside, while also exploring the ways in which communities resist and seek to build alternatives. In this podcast, Jose Iglesias García-Arenal invites us to imagine interstices of possibility where community resistance, historical memories, and art come together to redefine how we inhabit the world. We talk about invented traditions, olive trees, sheep, looms, and the complex interactions between past, present and future.

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.

Kathrin Böhm
more

In this podcast, we open up a glossary of concepts that affect and leave their mark on Kathrin Böhm's many constellations and collective projects. From the notion of compost—which triggered a radical shift in her way of working and interacting with her material archive in recent years—to a reassessment of the very idea of economy, which, as Katherine Gibson writes, helps us discern spaces of value production that are not immediately apparent. We talk about how these other strategies and ways of doing things lead us to qualify and problematise alternative ways of understanding social and/or participatory practices, and even to read the idea of community critically.

Carlos Motta
more

Carlos Motta sees his research as a potential space of enunciation from which to act as a counterweight to the prevailing narratives—a positive gesture of recognition of social groups, identities and communities whose voices have been suppressed by the dominant colonial power. His radical multidisciplinary practice and his use of a range of media—from video to installation, sculpture, performance and drawing on paper—make him hard to pin down. He also focuses on interaction with others, in ensemble works involving orality, documentary, curating, and even organizing public programs and symposia. In this podcast, we talk to Carlos Motta about art, politics, the market, and working conditions.
