Description

Culture Coventry are keen to work with an artist on a freelance basis for a Digital Storyteller role to deliver a series of creative workshops as part of the ‘We Love Coventry’ project.

‘We Love Coventry’ is a Community Engagement Programme in which we aim to broaden participation and engagement within our local community by gathering stories and artefacts for display across our sites.

Through the programme we will also work closely with participants to create co-curated community displays; celebrating the diverse voices of Coventry and sharing the stories of local people and communities.

This display will tour around different community venues to share the stories and creativity from various communities across the Coventry.

About the opportunity

The Digital Storyteller will deliver a series of storytelling workshops, working with participants of all ages, delivering high-quality, creative activities that will enable participants to confidently tell and share their stories, memories and reflections of Coventry with other people.

Workshops will take place in community venues across Coventry, and will culminate in the creation of a ‘pop-up’ museum. This ‘pop up’ museum will be showcased as part of a local celebration event, sharing participant’s work with the wider community. Some of the material created and gathered during the workshop programmes will also be exhibited across our venues.  The project will also be documented and shared on our websites, social media platforms, through photos and video.

We would like the Digital Storyteller to deliver workshops suitable for a range of community groups, and to work with participants to create sound tapestries that represent local people’s stories, memories and heritage. We are envisaging the creation of a series of sound tapestries of stories gathered through digital recordings and creative writing.
