Call out for artists: a visual artist and an artist with podcast making experience

Ad Infinitum is inviting applications from artists to collaborate on our latest project exploring the elderly care system in the UK. We’re looking for an artist who has experience in podcast making; and a visual artist / designer / photographer. 

As part of Ad Infinitum’s lockdown activities, we’ve been gathering personal stories from people across the country of their experiences of the elderly care system in the UK. We have spent hours chatting with people whose relatives have received care at home or lived in a care home, hearing from those that struggled with the system or found it helpful, and people who work in the system. With permission we have recorded these conversations and we are looking for an experienced podcast maker to edit the material into a coherent podcast/s; and also a visual artist to create a response to this material.

Both the podcast series and visual response will be shared as part of WHERE YOU ARE - Ad Infinitum’s online mini-festival taking place from 29 October to 1 November 2020  and might be used to inform the ongoing development of this project. We’d like the work to be completed by Monday 12th October.

People of all ages, backgrounds and disciplines are welcome to apply and we’d love to work with Bristol-based creatives. We are particularly interested in applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, and disabled candidates. We are committed to creating a more diverse workforce and will work with our chosen collaborators to provide any access support or working arrangements that are required for them to deliver their best work.

More information about the role and how to apply is on our website (see below).

Deadline for applications is Friday 11th September at 5pm.
