Ella Finer: The Cosmic Oval

Explores feminist and alternative ways of thinking about the universe and time.– Brings together imagined conversations with historical figures to rethink how knowledge is shared.– Inspired by the Cosmic House in London, the book blends science, myth, and cultural history.Ella Finer’s work in sound and performance spans writing, composing, and curating, with a particular interest in how bodies acoustically disrupt, challenge, or alter the occupation of space. 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.
