Welcome to the Center for Sight and Sound

SEE DIFFERENTLY. SOUND DIFFERENTLY. REPRESENT AUTHENTICALLY.

In an age defined by image and narrative, the Center for Sight and Sound is a space for critical media production, representation literacy, and inclusive storytelling. Our mission is to equip the next generation of content creators with not only the tools of the craft—but the vision to see through inequity and the imagination to reframe it.

Rooted in the work of cultural theorists such as Stuart Hall, bell hooks, and Douglas Kellner, the Center addresses a vital and often overlooked question in media education: how do we represent difference with dignity, accuracy, and care?

At the Center, we:
Interrogate media forms through intersectional and ethical lenses
Reclaim storytelling practices with dignity and equity in mind
Cultivate representational awareness as a core production skill
Showcase works that challenge, inspire, and reshape cultural norms

Whether you're a student, educator, filmmaker, or activist, we invite you to explore our curriculum, engage our resources, and contribute to a future where media doesn’t just reflect the world—it reimagines it.
