Vision Beyond Sight: Blindness, Touch & Enterprise

With Rebecca Lake

Joins us at socialbar for an evening with Rebecca Lake and her story of building a working life on altered ground.

Originally trained as a chartered physiotherapist, Rebecca lost her sight in 2008 and went on to create a hands-on practice of her own in Ipswich. Her business is shaped by touch, closeness and an attunement to the body that asks us to think again about what it means to know the world.

At the heart of the evening is Rebecca’s recent writing, Observations of a Blind Girl, a biographical work that opens onto a life of care, endurance and determination: raising four children, making a living, and finding new ways forward when the old map has gone. From there, the conversation will widen into the deeper themes her life touches: perception, adaptation, work, independence and the strange and the subtle intelligence of the senses.
