Job Vacancy: Visual Artist
The Knowledge Workshop is looking for a visual artist to work on its storytelling and oral history project.
KW is a feminist organization based in Beirut, that works on storytelling and oral history, researching women’s stories and histories, and making feminist resources more accessible.
One of KW’s main projects since its inception in 2015 has been the feminist oral history project, and this year this project is moving further towards storytelling, documenting stories of women and transpeople in Lebanon, and developing creative ways of disseminating the old and new oral histories. For this reason, KW is looking to hire a visual artist to become part of the oral history team, and to bring alive the stories with all their multi-sensory elements, and their conceptual framings.
Qualifications:
The visual artist is expected to accompany KW’s storytelling and oral history project for at least 5 months to provide the visual and creative elements of the research and the stories.
Ideal candidates must have
• Experience in developing concepts and oral narratives into creative and compelling visuals, using multiple media
• At least 3 years of experience in graphic design
• Experience in using various design tools
• Experience in design of diverse publications (video, print, etc.) is a plus
• Familiarity with feminism and women’s rights is a big plus
