Curator (ACMI Renewal) – Designated First Nations position

Situated at the very heart of Melbourne in Federation Square, ACMI explores the rapid evolution and astonishing creativity of the moving image with a vibrant, multilayered program of exhibitions, screenings, installations and commissions, festivals, and public, industry & education programs.  ACMI is the most successful museum of its kind in the world.  It plays a vital part in establishing Melbourne as a global cultural destination. In 2017/18, ACMI attracted 1.55 million visitors to its Federation Square site, and 454,200 visitors to its national and international exhibition touring program.

As we rapidly evolve towards a knowledge economy, ACMI presents its stories and objects in unique ways, spanning the conventions of traditional museums and reflecting the innovation and evolution of the moving image in our fast-moving world.  We are embarking on a visionary $40m redevelopment that will transform the institution, overhauling our permanent exhibition, dramatically improving the visitor experience, integrating cutting-edge technology and expanding our education programs. ACMI’s Fed Square site is planned to close for the redevelopment from mid-2019.

We have a role working as part of our project curatorial team to identify and craft the core stories and identify objects and interactives that will tell these stories in an innovative way. A major focus of the position is working with key internal and external stakeholders (including ACMI’s Indigenous Advisory Committee) to identify, develop and deliver indigenous content and programs; but you will also work across the exhibition and broader programs holistically.

You will be experienced in producing exhibitions with a passion for the moving image with the ability to navigate ATSIA artistic and cultural practice and communities locally and nationally.  Your excellent research, writing and organisational skills coupled with ability to forge new relationships will enable you to thrive in this role.

This role is a Grade 4, available on a part-time basis of 4 days per week with a commencing salary of $85,279 + super (pro-rata).
