Virginia lives in DC and works at The Atlantic as a designer and video producer for live events. Her work spans set design, graphic design, editorial design, illustration and art direction as well as videography, pre-and-post production, editing and animation. Her previous credits under Tremolo Productions include archival research for Chelsea Does and post production duties for The Music of Strangers. She recently created all of the artwork for Kate Kelly's debut album,
The Wonder of It All, and has also worked as an assistant teacher and backpacking leader.
Virginia graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016 with a degree in Communication and Public Service and a minor in Fine Art. She cares a lot about music (all kinds), the outdoors (most critters), the South (in all its complexity) and education. She grew up in the swamps and beaches of Fairhope, Alabama, a place she hopes you'll someday visit.

About / CV
Virginia Walcott is a Film & New Media Artist working as a Production Designer and Creative Director. Whether guiding a visual project from idea to execution or directing and exhibiting original work, she is grounded by the desire to blend the immersive power of film and design with the experimentation of conceptual art.
An interdisciplinary maker to her core, Virginia has spent a decade gaining technical skills in set design, graphic design, animation, directing, and editing. Her creative direction spans music, editorial, commercial, and narrative projects with a fondness for working with musicians. Her work has shown in galleries and film festivals across the U.S. and abroad, and she is a prior recipient of scholarship awards from Penland School of Craft. Raised on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, Virginia lives in Brooklyn by way of New Orleans and is currently pursuing an MFA in New Genres at Hunter College.
In her practice, Virginia uses video, installation, and design to play with and reframe the realities of modern life. She explores the tension between isolation, belonging, individuality, and collectivism with tools like semiotics, space, and duration. Her childhood in the Deep South gave her the means to challenge presiding narratives and norms, a habit that led her first to a career in journalism which permeates her work today. She thinks in structures and despite them, interested in how the forces that build our lives can be made visible or seen anew.
