Curatorial Research Fellow – Mural Project

The Liliesleaf Trust UK and CREATURE at London Metropolitan University are collaborating to create a public mural for the Anti-Apartheid Legacy Centre. The project seeks a Curatorial Research Fellow(s) to guide the mural’s creation, reflecting the history of anti-apartheid activism and its contemporary relevance.

The mural, located at the Centre’s Penton Street site (the former London HQ of the African National Congress), will likely explore themes of solidarity, social justice, and South African culture. Community engagement and co-design workshops will inform the mural’s themes and imagery.

Job Type: Fixed-term contract

Fee: £3,000-£8,000 (pending experience). Supported by National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Deadline for application: March 13th, 2025.

Applications are being reviewed on a rolling basis.
