We’re a teaching and research hub for ethnographic documentary, photography and sound recording at the University of Manchester
A unique balance of practical and theoretical training in ethnographic documentary, photography and sound recording, with cutting-edge production equipment and post-production facilities
Since its creation in 1987, the GCVA has been widely recognised as the world’s leading centre for Visual Anthropology. More than 800 students have taken our MA, PhD and short courses. We are now at the forefront of sensory ethnography and experimental methods through sound, photography, performance and installations, and of dialogues between art and anthropology.
