Marcelo Expósito is an artist, editor, and translator. He served as Secretary of Congress and as a member of the Spanish Parliament from 2016 to 2019. His research reorders and updates the sensitive procedures of historical avant-gardes, bringing to the present the emancipatory, insurrectionary, and self-determined radicalism of the struggles of the modern tradition. Expressive media such as photography, writing, conversation, and interviews organize his practice, linking fleeting and superficial moments with historical threads of resistance. Faced with the overlapping current crises in which neoliberalism is declining into intensified forms of fascism, Expósito explores the closeness to materials and the tactile memory of past struggles to safeguard healing or restorative processes for the violence we face daily.

In this podcast, Radio Web MACBA talks with Marcelo Expósito about scales and oratories, artistic methodologies, political imagination, and herbariums. They also speak of constitutional leaps that expand our ability to listen and remind us from the south of the rights of the land, the river, and the mountain; and attend to the process by which the recombination of pre-existing laws and agreements updates valuable constructive procedures and revitalizes, in a new scenario of historical decomposition, non-fascist ways of life.

This podcast is recorded in Spanish. There is also an Italian transcription available, realized in collaboration with PAV.
