Mariana Salgado – Diseño y diáspora (Podcast)

Pixelache festival radio is featuring podcasts by members of the pixelache collective:

Mariana Salgado - Diseño y diáspora ep. 194 Arturo Escobar

Este es un episodio de Diseño y diáspora podcast, donde Mariana Salgado entrevista a Arturo Escobar, un antropólogo colombiano que hace mucho tiempo viene inspirando y guiando el trabajo de diseñadores. Él sabe cómo explicar procesos complejos de una manera que lo hace parecer simple y ofrece una visión para transformar los mundos. Según Arturo el diseño tiene que ver con la construcción de los mundos y pensar qué es la vida, y eso lo hizo acercarse a la disciplina. También encontró en la relación que tiene el diseño con la creación una manera de entender la lucha política y el activismo. Él trabaja con grupos de origen africano en Colombia y feminismo negro. Y nos recuerda la importancia de “pensar con quién pensamos y desde donde pensamos. Si pensamos con los movimientos sociales, no solo con los libros, ya estamos haciendo una intervención”. Y nos propone que podemos anticipar, para que las cosas que van emergiendo, se vayan conectando las unas con las otras para que vayan surgiendo rizomas, redes autoorganizadas y que surjan alternativas radicales, viables y creíbles.

This is a program in Spanish.

a spark in a barn, in the body, in an oppressing society – selected audio works

a spark in a barn, in the body, in an oppressing society is a collection of selected audio works for Pixelache Festival 2021, curated by festival co-director Laura Gustafsson:

This playlist is about how bodies resonate with the environment – sometimes creating disharmony and destruction. Bengisu Uykusu’s work processes the conflicted feelings one easily develops towards people and things that one has grown up with. She writes that her loneliness, desire, and fury are peering around the edges of her piece. (This is one of those that made me laugh, in an uneasy way, though).

Maximilian Latva’s work is nostalgic to those of us who remember the Helsinki Makasiinit, a sort of center for underground culture before people were evicted from there and the place was burnt (it felt like a sacrifice, somehow). The piece also addresses the theme of burnout and what the city surroundings might feel like for a traumatized individual.

In Ola Zielińska’s sonic report individuals join their force and rise against the oppressor. Poland’s government has failed its female citizens – along with LGBTQI people and many others (so many, that in fact together they are the majority) – who now begin to create their own communities and bonds. Witnessing in resonance is a powerful testimony about fear, rage, and solidarity.

caitlin davis fisher, a former professional footballer, also strikes the patriarchal society in her beautifully intense spoken word piece (I assume a good game must feel exactly like that if you’re into it).
