Welcome to the Graduation Platform – a digital window into the artistic education programmes at HDK-Valand.
Here, you will encounter degree projects by graduating students in Design, Photography, Film, Fine Art, Crafts, and Literary Composition. These works take shape at the intersection of artistic practice, critical thinking, and some of the most pressing questions of our time.
At HDK-Valand, art and design are not only forms of expression but also ways of investigating, challenging, and reimagining the world. The students’ degree projects move between the personal and the political, across materials, narratives, techniques, and visions of the future.
The Graduation Platform offers insight into what is currently emerging within our programmes – new perspectives, experiments, and artistic processes. Here, you can revisit works you have already encountered or discover something for the very first time.
