Description

The LGBTQ+ Leamington – Hidden Histories project is an opportunity to explore the hidden histories of Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum collections, work closely with members of the community to record memories and experiences of LGBTQ+ life in Leamington Spa, and discover the people and places significant to Leamington’s LGBTQ+ history.

We are looking for an artist with experience of working with diverse communities and supporting members of the public in taking part in a creative process. The artist will work with LGBTQ+ groups and individuals to document and celebrate the little-known, hidden or overlooked histories and stories of both historic and contemporary experiences of LGBTQ+ Leamington.

The artist will work with the LGBTQ+ project group to pull together memories, histories, facts and interesting figures. We are looking for an artist who is able to bring these histories to life, including creating a film to become part of a display celebrating LGBT History Month in the Art Gallery & Museum.

The work will take place between 11th October 2016 and the week beginning 20th February 2017, with regular monthly and weekly meetings.

We welcome expressions of interest.  Please submit a short paragraph about how you would approach the project and the art form/s which you would use.
