About AK Studio

The team at AK Studio consists of an expanding cast of artistic collaborators, educators, filmmakers, web and graphic artists, photographers, sculptors, builders, engineers, musicians, exhibition techs, and designers. They work with Walker to develop, produce, and exhibit artworks, films, recordings, and sculpture, as well as on experimentation, archiving, and research. In addition to developing works in-house, the studio engages with academic institutions to collaborate with students, professors, and cross-disciplinary industries in order to further artistic, vocational and experimental dialog.

AKP Recordings, an extension of the studio, serves as a hub for experimental music and visual art.

AK Studio Equity Statement

We believe in and stand for values of inclusion, equity, and justice. We welcome all people and recognize the rights of individuals to live their lives with dignity and to work and conduct business in a diverse and inclusive environment.

We believe that building a just work culture requires intention and effort. When space is created for more people to belong, it benefits not only the artists, our staff, and our networks, but the world at large. With this in mind, we aim to cultivate fair and meaningful opportunities for our collaborators and staff to flourish.

We seek to include within our equity framework disenfranchised, under-supported, and historically-excluded individuals such as those with diverse gender and racial identities, sexual orientation, ages, immigration status, national origins, (dis)abilities, medical conditions, and other diverse characteristics.

Knowing our actions will speak louder than our words, AK Studio will strive to advance these intentions to achieve greater equity in our organization. Through continued listening and learning, we aim to gain a deeper understanding about both personal and systemic biases, enabling us to make informed adjustments, develop new goals, and fulfill our mission of advocating for artists who collectively enrich our world today.
