Job Description

At Community Arts by ZK, we use art as a driving force to bring people together across all ages, cultural backgrounds, and socioeconomic circumstances, fostering cohesion, integration, and wellbeing. Our projects and workshops encourage participants to explore and express their own heritage and stories through a wide range of creative disciplines, including print, photography, sound, textiles, digital art, environmental art, installation, sculpture, mixed media, and both traditional and contemporary techniques. If you are interested in this position, please submit an expression of interest (No longer than two sides of A4) and some examples of previous work to [email protected]. If you are sending a portfolio that is password protected, please ensure to include the password within the email text – not doing so could affect your ability to be shortlisted for the role. Fee: £194 a day (for at least 8 days of activity. Total number of days are negotiable depending on early engagement and final exhibition needs) Deadline to apply: 11:59pm on the 26th March

Job Requirements

As part of our Healing Arts for All project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Paul Hamlyn Foundation, we are looking for a curator to assist the team in the design, development and production of our final exhibition, featuring a selection of works made by our participants during the last 3 years of the project. The context of the work focuses on the stories and lives of the South Asian community that emigrated to Pendle and worked at Brierfield Mill shortly after the Second World War, an integral part of Pendle’s extensive industrial history. So far in the project we have explored surface pattern, sound art, photography, mixed media, illustration and textiles, with visits to Lancashire Archives to give historical contexts and an insight into archival materials.
