? Fossil Modernity, with Gemma Barricarte on the Fundación Arquia Podcast
In the latest episode of Nuevas Coordenadas, Fundación Arquia invites architect, artist, and researcher Gemma Barricarte to explore a fundamental question: what is fossil modernity, and why does it matter today? Through a conversation that moves from architecture and infrastructure to energy and extractive imaginaries, Barricarte helps us reflect on how certain forms of modernity—shaped by fossil fuels and material structures—continue to shape our cities, bodies, and ecosystems.
This episode invites us to look beyond buildings and objects to understand how our energy and cultural practices are part of a fossil legacy that conditions what we understand as “modern.” An invitation to rethink architecture and our ways of inhabiting the world amid an ongoing socio-ecological crisis.
