Production of Audio Guide

This tender is being hosted by The University of Huddersfield on behalf of the Holocaust Survivors Friendship Association which is the contracting body for this opportunity.

This is an exciting, collaborative opportunity for a creative associate to work with the HSFA and HELC, the leading learning centre about the Holocaust in the North of England.

Our collection and exhibition tells the history of Holocaust from the perspective of 16 incredible individuals, all Holocaust refugees, who made their lives in the North of England. Due to the exhibition's unique perspective, many voices are inevitably absent from it. This project seeks to bring some of these voices in the exhibition, working with communities to create a polyphonic and multilayered response, in the form of audio guides, operated via visitors' devices. The different tracks that compose the audio guide will be co-authored with participants.

The aim is to respond to our collections and exhibition, but also to what it's not in there: materials, stories, affects, memories, and events that absent, lost or destroyed.

The audio-guides will be part of our permanent exhibition, but we envisage them being accessible remotely, on visitors' devices.

A key aspect of this project is the collaboration with audiences, who should be involved directly in the writing process, with a commitment to act on their inputs. The workshops with different audiences should also be experimental and/or immersive and encourage audience participation, for example, through opportunities for improvisation, conversation and debate or written/oral/performative comment, These can take very different forms, depending on the creative associate's art practice, working methodologies and experimentations.

The audio-guides can be designed in such a way that is adaptable for a wide range of content, themes and narrative direction as they evolve and develop in unexpected ways throughout the project.

It will also be important for the response to this tender to consider the new conditions under which public spaces will operate in light of COVID-19 including:

o Social distancing o The proximity between participants
