The Museum of Anthropology (MOA) and Musqueam are seeing a xʷməθkʷəy̓əm artist or graphic designer to create design assets and a brand style guide for the new ‘Reframing the Power of Art in Place’ section of the existing MOA App.

Experience with app development or digital design are not required. If the successful candidate chooses to complete their work by hand, materials will be digitized by a graphic designer.

‘Reframing the Power of Art in Place’ is a new digital resource spotlighting Indigenous artwork on the UBC Vancouver campus. It combines written content about artwork, interviews with artists and knowledge holders, hən̓q̓əmin̓əm, and place-based knowledge.
