‘Healing Arts for All’ (HAFA), require a Digital Designer as a key member of their team.
This is an incredibly exciting and rare artistic opportunity to work on a creative heritage project of national importance. HAFA seeks to explore and engage the multicultural community of Pendle in the heritage of their post-industrial local area.
Within the project there will be a particular focus on Brierfield Mill, a renovated Grade 2 listed former cotton mill. They will be exploring both what life was like in Lancashire’s industrial era, and how this shaped Pendle and its residents today to create an archive made up of historical content and innovative artworks.
The Digital Designer will be responsible for managing communications in relation to the project (posters, social media, project branding etc), design branding/icons for the online archive of the project (however the website will be designed by a freelance Web Designer) and manage the digitisation of the material for the archive. The Digital Designer will be responsible for overseeing the archive, and training volunteers how to upload and catalogue material on the website. The Digital Designer will support Creative Practitioners with all digital design for each phase (video editing, app design, digital collaging, how to design for book-making etc).
This archive will contain photographs, historical records, oral records, artworks such as textiles, mixed media collages etc that have been collected throughout the project. This archive is one of the primary products of this 3-year project: it will fill a gap in current archive information, as there is little known about the lives of the South Asian community and their work during the industrial period in Lancashire.
