Description
We are seeking a creative exhibition designer (option to include lighting design services) who will use vibrant, welcoming, dynamic and sensitive design to tell the story of Manchester, cotton and transatlantic slavery. We will explore the role that enslaved Africans played in Manchester’s growth and discuss why this story is relevant to the people of Manchester today, reshaping the narrative of how the textile industry created the world’s first industrial city. This project calls for the expertise of a designer who can demonstrate an ability to produce an exhibition design that works carefully with sensitive subject matter, bringing together archival content and objects, a limited number of thoughtful interactive exhibits and creative commissions to produce an insightful and inspiring visitor experience. Please refer to the tender documents for further details.
