*New podcast: OBJECTHOOD #4, curated by Roc Jiménez de Cisneros*

The slippery materiality of untraceable objects: from the arsenic poisoning
the wells of Bangladesh as told by *Nabil Ahmed*, to *Arie Altena*'s

This podcast is about objects, but more importantly, it is about some of
the recent theories that offer new conceptualisations of objects in
contemporary philosophy and art. In this episode, we go underground, but
also under water, where development clashes with strange hyperobjects such
as poison, where geology meets politics, where horror meets daily life.
