Curate and promote an arts exhibition on the gig economy

31st May to 11th June
Assist in the curation and public dissemination of an art exhibition that tells food courier stories through graphic illustrations, comics, video footage and fanzines.
Host Researcher: Dr Ioan-Cosmin Popan The exhibition ‘Multimodal. Dis-order at work’ will be held between 6-11 June 2022 in the Geoffrey Manton building at Manchester Metropolitan University. It draws insights from the research project ‘Doing gig work: Social implications of platform-based food deliveries’, which investigates the working conditions of platform food couriers (i.e Uber Eats, Deliveroo etc.) in three European cities. The exhibition will showcase artistic outputs including graphic illustrations, comics, video footage and fanzines. We invite you to be part of the team which organises and promotes this exhibition to the academic community and the public. We are particularly interested in students with a background or interest in arts and/or arts curating. We will ask you to join us for 3-4 days prior to the exhibition (in late May or early June; dates will be confirmed) for the organisation of the exhibition artifacts and a media training session. This will be followed by six days of effective internship during the period of the exhibition (6-13 June 2022). We will cover your travel and subsistence expenses up to a total of £20/day.
