    About this website


    As you browse this website, you’ll notice that the title of each page—whether it be a student’s name, film title or the exhibition title at-large—tracks across the page with the passing of time. It is SCA’s very own sundial: reflecting a cohort that shared moments of connection in-studio amid varying daily rhythms of making art.

    Distinct across disciplines and lines of enquiry, the 2024 graduating students are unified by the place that they have been making and learning on-campus at the Old Teachers’ College. This catalogue is grounded in its architecture, combining patterns and colours from surfaces found on site.
