About the project
RRRRRUMBA is an international project that uses the cultural phenomenon of rumba as a starting point to develop a participatory methodology for intercultural community building.
Through three field studies involving a unique set of partner organizations, we actively connect different Rumbero communities in Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Together, we aim to explore the cultural distinctiveness of this unique art form and its know-how for cultural participation.
Through the joint organization of three festivals with workshops and performances, and one traveling exhibition, we want to give a tangible boost to preserving this heritage, encouraging contemporary expressions of it, and connecting this art form with new audiences.
We are also focused on building a sustainable expert network and developing a unique participatory methodology. This methodology will be useful in the European and global cultural sector to connect individuals and communities from diverse backgrounds in an inclusive, horizontal, and co-creative way.
4 Partners: Madam Fortuna and KVS (BE), Carabutsi (ES), World Harmonies (FR) 2 Associated Partners: INA (Congo), ICM (Cuba)
Who are we looking for?
We are currently seeking a graphic designer to visually shape the project. Specifically, you will create a series of communication tools for use by the project partners in both overall and individual communications.
These tools must reflect the cultural diversity of the various communities and countries involved, with attention to language diversity as well. Familiarity with the participating countries and communities, or being a member of a rumba community, is a plus.
Deliverables (subject to expansion):
* Logo
* Style guide, including fonts, color schemes, etc., which will also form the basis for the website’s design website layout and design
* Social media templates, including usable frames
* Graphic elements for a final publication on the project’s research
These tools will be developed in consultation with the project coordinators.
