New #podcast✊ Researcher and artist Santiago Mostyn discusses the close relationship between music and politics through the history of Radio Free Grenada, the multi-directional movements of diaspora, and the long 1970s in the Caribbean — from student movements to radical forms of Black political engagement.

We also move through the conceptual meaning of the jungle and the Caribbean as both real and symbolic territories.

#podcast Glitter, sequins, faux flowers... and vultures hiding in the garden. Jamaican artist Ebony G. Patterson on beauty as a Trojan horse: how opulence seduces the eye while refusing to let the "un-visible" disappear.
Bling, grief, the Tivoli Incursion, cockroaches and flies, death as community.

New #podcast 🎙️ Central to AbdouMaliq Simone's work is extensionality — the ways relations stretch across households, neighborhoods, and economies, enabling partial connections and provisional alignments.
Infrastructure isn't only technical; it's social. People become the conduits through which resources circulate and possibilities emerge.🎧 https://rwm.macba.cat/en/podcasts/sonia-457-abdoumaliq-simone/

One by one, U.S. civil rights agency dismantles tools to fight discrimination - The #TrumpRegime is the most openly #racist administration in recent memory. Scrubbing #BlackHistory from the military, museums and US history. Attacking #BlackStudies, disparaging #DEI programs designed to address historic discrimination; and finally, stripping Black citizens’ voting rights. And still, there are Black conservatives who seem totally ok with what’s going on. #WTF ⁉️ https://www.npr.org/2026/06/01/nx-s1-5827069/trump-eeoc-discrimination-dei-data #BlackMastodon

New #podcast
What if informality isn't absence but dense coordination?
In AbdouMaliq Simone's work, 'popular territories' — across Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia — are sites where people continuously recalibrate relationships to space, authority, and livelihood. Fragile and generative at once.
And what if infrastructure is not just pipes and roads but also people?

New #podcast: Architect + curator Mpho Matsipa talks about Black urbanism, African mobilities, the uneasy legacies of modernism, racialized ecologies, and the extraction of Black time through regimes of waiting and migration. We also think with Mpho’s reading of Mbembe’s ‘distributed university’, where museums, salons, independent art spaces and networks become infrastructures for redistributing knowledge and resources.

So much of Black History Month gets flattened into trivia about a few iconic figures. But as Jarvis Givens reminds us on Code Switch, its origins were far more radical: a project to reclaim histories that were ignored or suppressed. A good prompt to rethink how we engage this month.

« Après l’indépendance du #Ghana en 1957, le pays est devenu le centre névralgique de la rencontre entre intellectuels africains et afro-américains. Cet héritage s’est prolongé aux États-Unis, où il a donné naissance aux «#BlackStudies». »

#fromthevault 📻 Oyèrónké Oyèwùmi (Nigerian scholar, author of "The Invention of Women") reminds us that gender is not a natural universal — it is a historical project.
This conversation opens up other ways of knowing and relating. On Yoruba worldmaking, seniority, embodiment, colonial epistemologies and the limits of Western gender categories.

Nuevas #escenaseliminadas 📻 Rescatamos fragmentos inéditos de la conversación con la investigadora, escritora y curadora Tania Safura Adam (Maputo, 1979).

También sobre música, literatura y memoria: kizombando el pasado.

#fromthevault 📻 Architect and scholar Mabel O. Wilson reflects on how architecture intersects with Blackness, colonial histories, and the politics of memory.
Through questions of land, evidence, and belonging, Wilson examines how the built environment both records and obscures the legacies of dispossession — and how architecture might instead become a site for gathering, observation, and relation.
