Hannah Wallis is a performance and sound artist based in the Midlands. She is a founding director of the Dyad Creative group dedicated to the organisation and production of artistic endeavours, and the management behind it. Wallis is bilateral deaf, meaning she can only listen from her right ear. This has moulded Hannahs work, being in some cases a barrier toward sonic objects. In the visiting practitioner lecture, she explained how she has used different hearing aids across time and this has forced her to learn how to listen with each different hearing apparatus.

Currently she works as a curator for the Wysing Arts Centre, with a particular focus in helping people with hearing disabilities. Exploring cognitive ways to support deaf people through the art medium. In these workshops and exhibitions, Wallis has explored the concept of accessibility and the aesthetics revolving with it, specially revolving the management and administration of the practises where the medium relies.

The video above is one of the events the Dyad creative has done. Interconnection between mediums was one of the key elements of the event, this is used as great resource to make art accessible. For example if a sound installation is taking place, by combining it with a non sonic medium, impaired audiences can enjoy or address a piece through another medium.
