We are currently seeking artists, storytellers and creative people who love to tell stories and share information in playful and powerful ways. In Spring 2021 we are offering two paid commissions:
(1) To capture and tell the story of social change and neighbourhood transition that is happening through community-led housing initiative We Can Make.
(2) To create accessible, playable ways for people to interact with and understand the data we have gathered through a community survey about digital exclusion and access to technology in Knowle West.
We are looking to work with an individual, or small team, with strong graphic, visualisation, and story-telling skills to:
• Develop a distinctive and powerful visual language, aesthetic and narrative for the individual projects within We Can Make, the connecting themes and overall ‘big picture’
• Deep-dive into specific projects to de-mystify particular elements or processes
• Shape the content to reach different audiences
• Create outputs and content that can be used in a range of contexts
Further details can be found in the brief: We Can Make Storytelling Brief 2021
During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic KWMC worked with University of Bristol researchers to create and conduct a survey exploring digital exclusion and use of digital technologies in the neighbourhood of Knowle West. 274 households responded to this survey.
We are looking for someone to create a visually engaging and accessible way of sharing the digital exclusion survey data with the wider community. This will include taking part in a workshop with people in Knowle West who are interested in digital exclusion.
Further details can be found in the brief: Data Visualisation Brief 2021
Full details of how to apply can be found in the briefs for each commission.
Please apply by 5pm on Monday 15 March 2021.
