WE’RE RECRUITING: NEIGHBOURHOOD CURATORS, REGENT’S PARK ESTATE STORY TRAIL
We are thrilled to introduce the newest positions available within the ODAC team: Neighbourhood Curators for the Regent's Park Estate Story Trail.
WHAT IS THE STORY TRAIL?
The Story Trail Project is a celebration of the past, present and future of Regent’s Park Estate, promoting a sense of community, safety and connection. Through 10 unique art installations, the Story Trail will take the community on a journey through the estate creating opportunities to shape, reconnect and look differently at the area.
The Euston area is currently undergoing major urban changes, with more planned for many years ahead. The Story Trail and wider Stories of Regent’s Park Estate (SRPE) is a project making resident-led creative, positive changes to the urban environment. Through collaboration between local residents, artists and key city stakeholders, we aim to ensure that Regent’s Park Estate thrives and flourishes.
WHAT IS A NEIGHBOURHOOD CURATOR?
The role of a Neighbourhood Curator is to engage with, collect and represent the views of residents of Regent’s Park Estate and to support and ensure these inform the creative development of the SPRE project and the Story Trail. The SPRE project is focused on enabling people to share their experiences of living and working within the Regent’s Park Estate in ways which resonate with their lives and their localities.
Each Curator will lead on a specific area of Regent’s Park Estate and help to shape and collate case studies and information gathered from residents directly living around the proposed sites for the installation of artworks.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for local residents who are passionate about the value of art in society.
This would be an ideal role for someone friendly, organised, efficient and adept at balancing the needs of, communicating with and working across the local Regent’s Park communities. We are keen to hear from people who are currently living or working within the Regent’s Park Estate and who are excited to play an active role in co-creating and shaping artistic interventions within their community.
