Sensing Sound
Ali Donaldson & Chris Cutler in Conversation
Ali Donaldson & Chris Cutler in Conversation
Two professionals exchange experiences of listening and hearing loss. How do they hear – and sometimes mis-hear – sounds, music, noise, nature and speech? What have they learned about sound and living with disability? What difference do the latest technologies make? And how can others include them in social exchanges?
Please join the conversation.
This is a hybrid event. The event will take place at ONCA Barge and will be live-streamed for those not able to attend the event in person.
Book free tickets for in person event at ONCA Barge – adv. booking required!

Ali Donaldson is currently working on a collection of essays in which she reflects on life and love, emancipation and disappointment, career and boredom, conversation and writing, knowing and not knowing, voice and listening. She began to lose hearing in her 50s and has worn hearing aids for about 15 years. The experience has been difficult but enlightening.
Ali grew up in England, spent her 20s in West Berlin, currently lives in Hove, and is due to move to France in 2022. Over her long career, she has worked as policy researcher, archaeological digger, magazine writer, editor and writing coach. Despite having three degrees – in economics, sociology and organisational change respectively – she never feels she knows enough.
