Role Purpose
We are seeking a Freelance Evaluator to assess Visualising Contemporary Art Histories – iniva’s Moving Image Archive, a public programme supported by the BFI National Lottery Screen Heritage Fund.
You will work closely with iniva’s Library and Archive Manager and Project Archivist to evaluate the programme’s impact, accessibility, and audience engagement. Responsibilities include attending three events between September 2025 and March 2026, collecting and analysing feedback, and producing a final report by April 2026.
This role offers the opportunity to contribute to an inclusive, archive-led film engagement model, supporting iniva’s commitment to broadening access to screen heritage.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is an experienced evaluator with a strong track record of assessing public programmes in the arts, heritage, or screen sectors. They are confident designing inclusive, audience-focused evaluation frameworks and are comfortable working independently to deadlines.
They will bring a clear understanding of diasporic and Global Majority cultural contexts, and be skilled in analysing both quantitative and qualitative data to produce accessible and insightful reports.
Familiarity with BFI or other public funder reporting frameworks is advantageous, as is experience working with archives or film-based engagement initiatives. An awareness of accessibility standards in public programming is also desirable.
This role would suit someone who values inclusive practice, has excellent communication skills, and is committed to contributing to more equitable approaches in cultural heritage evaluation.
