Heritage Exhibition Interpreter

Communities of Making (a partnership between High Life Highland Museums, CofGâr – Carmarthenshire Museums & Arts Service, and the Irish Linen Centre & Lisburn Museum) seeks a Heritage Interpreter, with strong writing and editorial skills to develop the core narrative and content of a major touring exhibition.

Working across three museum sites, the Interpreter will:

• Combine collections research already undertaken locally
• Work alongside the three Young Curators groups (one at each site) to make
  sure their work, ideas and perspectives are central to the exhibition content and
  presentation.
• Shape and refine exhibition content and interpretation, in conjunction with
  partner staff and young curators' groups
• Develop a coherent, shared narrative that connects the distinct geographies,
  collections, and young peoples’ groups
• Ensure that sustainability is an integral part of the narrative and purpose of the
  exhibition.

The resulting core exhibition will tour across all three partner venues.

The core exhibition will be supported by local content specific to each venue and young people’s groups and creative commissions by locally based heritage craft artists.
