Vivid Projects is seeking a freelance Project Coordinator to manage delivery of the public engagement and professional development programme for the Birmingham Media Archive Project: The First Decade (BMAP), a project which will increase access to archival material with the support of the BFI Screen Heritage Fund, awarding funds from the National Lottery. 

Running from October-May, The Birmingham Media Archive Project: The First Decade (BMAP) is an 8-month initiative to create access to a significant strand of Vivid Projects’ media archive containing 30 years of grassroots screen heritage. The project focuses on material from a critical decade (1982–1992), uncovering the sociopolitical and cultural contexts that shaped community media in Birmingham, particularly through organisations such as TURC Video, Wide Angle, the Birmingham Centre for Media Arts. 

The Project Coordinator will play a vital part in delivering the project activities, supporting a cohort of six professional creative placements alongside providing opportunities for volunteers, building the skills pool for a future public-facing ‘videotheque’ resource. The post involves coordinating professional development workshops, community learning and screenings, and supporting archival research that celebrates and shares Birmingham’s screen and media heritage.
