Ella Finer is a writer and researcher of sonic cultures. Her work spans writing, composing, and curating, with a particular interest in how women's voices take up space and how bodies acoustically disrupt, challenge, or change occupations of space. Inspired by the Cosmic House in London, this book explores feminist and alternative ways of thinking about the universe, bringing together imagined conversations with historical figures to rethink how knowledge is shared. Her research continually queries the ownership of cultural expression through sound, often through collaborative projects that centre on listening as a practice of deep attention, affiliation and reciprocity. She is working on a book of essays, Acoustic Commons and the Wild Life of Sound, while Silent Whale Letters, a correspondence project with Vibeke Mascini and edited by Kate Briggs, was published by Sternberg Press in 2023.
