Introducing Speculars, new podcast series by Institut Ramon Llull

Knowledge.  BARCELONA, 11/11/2021

The specular image refers to the reflection of one's own body in the mirror, the image of oneself which is simultaneously oneself and other.

In these series of podcasts by Institut Ramon Llull, we explore the field of speculative knowledge. Through a series of interviews and curated episodes by people linked to art, music, cinema, architecture and literature, our aim is to present various possible forms of organization and approach to the world.




About this podcast

Every guest has been invited to curate a program, to play with ideas, voice and sounds. Each chapter is the reality through the mirror of the other, they are mirror pairs and as such, two episodes unfold in their enantiomorphism.

In this first season our guests are:

Rosana Antolí, artist.

Lluís Alexandre Casanovas, architect and curator.

Laura Farré Rozada, mathematician and musician.

Eduard Grau, cinematographer.

Martí Manen, curator and art writer.

Elisabet Ràfols, translator.
