Podcast

“Listening shapes our culture.”

The CIMAM Podcasts, In Our Own Voice, are part of a family of tools developed by CIMAM to support the continuing education, intellectual exchange, and professional development of those working in the field of contemporary art. Together with the CIMAM Webinars and CIMAM Papers, the podcast series contributes to a shared space for learning, reflection, and the circulation of ideas, personal views and testimonies across institutions, practices, and geographical contexts.

The podcast series departs from a simple idea: to make voices heard. By bringing listeners into direct contact with museum professionals, curators, researchers, institutional leaders, and independent practitioners, the podcasts aim to make our field more immediate, accessible, and tangible. Hearing someone speak about their experiences, concerns, ideas, and convictions creates a different relationship to knowledge. It allows us to encounter not only positions and arguments, but also the people, circumstances, and ways of thinking behind them.

Why does this matter? Because understanding is a fundamental condition for gaining agency. At the same time, listening is a way of building a sense of togetherness.
