Beyond a Duty of Care-How do go beyond this and implement our ideas into practice.
She is interested in longterm research process, accessibility and disability inclusivity.
How do we bring people into spaces?
She has a very different relationship to sound as she is deaf. Hanna has been deaf since the age of 18months old. She wears a hearing aid, but over the years as she reached her twenties her hearing completely dissapered. Causing her depth to sound to change.
When she lost her hearing completely she decided to have have a cochlea implant. They are essentially computers that synthesise sounds coming into the microphone.
RE-LEARNING TO HEAR.
She is hearing everything mechanical. And only through her left ear.
It wasn’t until the implant did she realise the importance of sound and how it shapes our world. The sonic architecture of the world.
She was part of a collective called ‘Dyad Creative’
The exhibition Move Your Homeland, this exhibition helped her start thinking about sound, bodies and the sensory environment—in which her experience is considerably different.

Ain Bailey (Sound Artist) -Sonic Biography 2021————-Relates to my idea of Family Histories, my idea takes away the I and puts emphasis on ‘them’.
One room in the exhibition is inspired from the food Ackee and Saltfish—composed of Ains recorded sounds of making the dish, then processed.
The second replayed a found recording of a traditional Jamaican market song about Ackee and Saltfish.
The final a homage to dub, utilising a stripped back baseline.
Captioning is the process of converting audio content to text.
CAPTION-CONSCIOUS-ECOLOGY
Since the pandemic the art sector has begun to understand the need to shift to a more accessible co-operation. The UK is still very much behind the US.
How do we visualise sound—there are lots of words in the lexicon that do not resinate to people with hearing difficulties/deaf etc. For example notes, musical scores, remembering sound and identifying sound.
This is discussed in the upcoming exhibition-The Art of Capturing
The physicality of sound and translation—through touch, feeling, vibration.
Hanna feels by working in sound (with her disability) she can approach it from a completely opposite and unique angle.
