Enduring Game: Expanding New Models of Museum Making
With the guiding mantra: “Of Necessity, Virtue”

CIMAM’s 57th Annual Conference

Day 3 featured an Apertura by Diana Anselmo, a performer and visual artist based in Milan, who brought to Turin an excerpt of Pas Moi, the concluding chapter of his long-term research into the histories of power, domination, and erasure embedded in mainstream historiography.

Following his earlier performance Je Vous Aime, Pas Moi shifts focus to the origins of the first instruments for recording, transmission, and reproduction of sound. Through minor archives, situated knowledge, and Deaf-led perspectives, Anselmo reveals how celebrated sound devices were historically conceived through audist and phonocentric frameworks that sought to “heal” or erase deafness rather than recognise it as a culture, a language, and a community.
