John Hull - Notes on Blindness. Thursday 12th March, 7-9:30pm.
John Henry Brookes Lecture Theatre, Oxford Brookes University.
In 1983 John Hull began keeping an audio diary. Over three years he recorded over sixteen hours of material, a unique testimony of loss, rebirth, and renewal, excavating the interior world of blindness. Published in 1990, the diaries were described by author and neurologist Oliver Sacks as, ‘A masterpiece… The most precise, deep and beautiful account of blindness I have ever read.’ Notes on Blindness is an ambitious and groundbreaking work, both affecting and innovative – and one of the most essential British documentaries of the year.
