About the Mayor Audio Visual Design
The Audio-Visual Design major at WdKA is a broad, dynamic and research-driven program in which students work across a wide spectrum of audiovisual media. Our students create films, videos, podcasts, installations, interactives and performances, exploring genres from documentary to essay, fiction and everything in between. What connects their work is the aim to tell involved, substantive stories through image and sound.
Across four years, students develop from emerging makers into reflective, critical and enterprising audiovisual artists who can navigate and shape the contemporary creative field.
