Leanne Cunningham

Liverpool
Leanne is an artist and educator based in the North West of England.

Her practice explores sound through place and memory, investigating how environments are experienced, narrated, and challenged.

Working across writing, field recording, and publishing, she reimagines landscapes — particularly overlooked or transitional spaces — as sites of embodied listening and layered narrative. Her work challenges dominant spatial histories by foregrounding intimate, sensory, and often marginalised perspectives.
Focussed on movement and attention, her practice treats listening as both method and medium: a way of navigating relationships between self, environment, and others.
 

Lived Experience

Alongside her practice, she is the founder of the independent publishing platform Lonely Stone Press, which focuses on interdisciplinary approaches to land, sound, and image.

She is currently a Lecturer in Fine Art at the University of Lancashire.
