SONA

Born out of regular meet-ups of the Yorkshire Sound Women Network in Sheffield, SONA is a Sheffield-based group which fosters skills, creates space, generates networks, and forges collaboration to support women in learning and experimenting with sound and music practices.

SONA’s creative arm generates interactive sound art installations and performances, with recent events at AlgoMech festival, Connect the Dots festival, DINA and Access Space. The group have also organised a series of social events and workshops funded as part of the Catalyst festival of Creativity, and presented the Unpeeled series as part of the 2018/19 Sound and Music Composer-Curator programme.

The collective, established in March 2016, is always open to new members – get in touch to meet new people and talk about sound and music technology in an informal setting.
