Senior Heritage Producer

Undercurrent: Movement of Jah People:

In 2024, Revoluton Arts, supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England, led the research phase of Undercurrent, exploring themes of bottom-up activism and associated music subcultures connected to communities along the River Lea, the natural heritage of the Lea and the Neolithic beginnings of Luton’s communities at Waulud’s Bank.

The Undercurrent project’s ongoing central theme is focused on movements of people in bottom-up activism, motivated by the principles of humanity and love – living better together, as opposed to with hostility. It will conduct deeper research into the physical movement of people – the super-diverse communities at either end of the Lea, Luton and London – and their connectedness. It will amplify voices hardly heard, make visible the communities seldom seen, and it will surface the pioneering music and creative subcultures that have promoted – and continue to inform – positive political and social change in multicultural society.

The Senior Heritage Producer will ensure the smooth running of the project and ensure that the aims and reach of the project are achieved. Working closely with Revoluton’s CEO/Creative Director, Executive Director and the project team (freelancers and existing members of the Revoluton team), the Undercurrent Senior Heritage Producer will oversee budget, timeline and evaluation across the project, ensuring key milestones and outcomes are achieved within the project timeline whilst fostering meaningful connection of the project in both London and Luton.

This is a fixed-term contract ending 30 November 2027, working 18.75 hours a week (equivalent of 2.5 days a week).
