The Curator will operate both from within and outside of the organisation to research and shape the narratives around the Autumn/Winter season, translating them into two key outputs: a major gallery exhibition and an associated programme of events.

The main aim of the season is to foreground gender politics and their intersection with issues of race, class and sexuality. We will consider how experimentation, exploration and adaptability might better shape our sense of self and the world around us - particularly in a moment of unprecedented political, social and technological change. Some keywords which might help guide proposals are: Intersectionality; World creation; Sub- and Countercultures; Construction of identities; Blurred Boundaries; Speculative Futures; Posthumanism; Queer Theory; Genderjamming; Transition.

Within a window of six months (based at FACT for approximately six weeks, exact days to be jointly defined), the Curator will be responsible for drafting curatorial texts, selecting and working with artists, building partnerships, contributing to the audience development plan, and designing a public programme that expands the main curatorial ideas and provides multiple entry points to the wider season.

The Curator will work collaboratively across FACT’s programme strands (Exhibitions and Public Programmes, Learning, Research, and Marketing) to stimulate meaningful exchange and ensure that the resulting season is embedded within the organisation and its context.
