Leanne Cunningham is an artist, writer, educator, and publisher whose practice explores listening, memory, place, and storytelling.
Working across sound art, creative writing, photography, publishing, and participatory research, she investigates how listening can function as both a creative method and a way of understanding relationships between people, environments, and everyday experiences.
Much of her work emerges through walking-based research, combining field recordings, photography, sound writing, and the collection of conversations, observations, and personal narratives. Through these processes, she explores how stories become embedded within landscapes and how attentive listening can reveal overlooked aspects of place, memory, and connection.
She is the founder of Lonely Stone Press, an independent publishing project dedicated to creative and experimental forms of writing. Her work has been presented nationally and internationally, including recent presentations as part of the Listening Biennial and the Listening Academy in Vienna. Cunningham holds an MA in Sound Arts from the University of the Arts London and currently works in higher education, teaching on the Fine Art course at University of Lancashire.
