nearmejobs.eu

Job Summary

Mafwa Theatre are looking for an artist to document our upcoming project Routing/re:rooting through a printed zine, working alongside participants from our women’s drama group and lead artist Mahshid Alavi.

Job Description

Mafwa Theatre are seeking to work with an artist to creatively capture and share the story of our upcoming Arts Council England-funded project Routing/re:rooting, in printed format.

Location: Leeds (LS9)
Artist fee: £1000 (inclusive of VAT)
Materials budget: £500
Timeline: April – September 2026
Application deadline: 23:59, 20 April 2026

The project is led by dance artist Mahshid Alavizadeh, who will co-create a dance performance with Kuluhenna Drama participants. Together, they will capture how dance can anchor us in new and old homes and be a source of joy in an increasingly hostile environment.

The artist(s) will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, focusing on documentation and sense-making. They will capture participants’ histories, cultures of dance and the creative process using mixed media, and share key moments through a printed zine.

We are commissioning an artist to document the journey of the project and produce a small printed zine publication. The artist will work alongside the Mafwa team, the lead dance artist and Kuluhenna Drama participants to capture the stories, movement influences and creative process behind the work. The final publication should communicate the creative intention, cultural context, and participant voices that shape the work.

Job Requirements

We are interested in artists who:
– have experience with zine making, illustration, graphic storytelling or visual documentation
– have experience working with community or participatory projects
are interested in migration, culture and dance
– can translate stories and creative processes into accessible visual formats

We particularly welcome applications from artists with lived experience of migration.
