What does it feel like to see music — not metaphorically, but literally? And what can we learn from artists whose perception challenges everything we think we know about the senses?

This week on Visionary, Georgina Godwin meets Sarah Kraning, the Minnesota-based artist whose synesthesia allows her to experience sound as vivid colour, movement, and texture. Recorded at Here East, the conversation explores how Sarah transforms her neurological condition into breathtaking visual art — and why she sees it not as a disorder, but as a gift.

From the first time she heard Holst’s Jupiter to her recent collaboration with RÜFÜS DU SOL, painting songs that feature the calls of endangered and extinct species, Kraning shares how her unique sensory world is helping others reimagine the connection between music, art, and the mind.
