Description

We have a fantastic freelance creative practitioner opportunity to work with Manchester Museum as part of our Capital Redevelopment with a number of partner schools on a Start project funded by Children and the Arts.

The project - The Art of Identity - will involve partnerships with a number of Greater Manchester schools and aims to engage over two hundred Key Stage 3 students. The project will be linked with our Capital Redevelopment, a part of which is to develop a permanent South Asia Gallery at Manchester Museum. Therefore we are looking for a creative practitioner whose work has a demonstrable link to South Asia and who can create a collaborative Museum-Schools piece of artwork on the topic of ‘Identity in South Asia’. Ideally, we would like practitioners who have experience of working with secondary school age children and would be confident translating pupils’ ideas into pieces of art with a cultural and historical context.
