Undercurrent: Movement of Jah People.

We are seeking a Senior Heritage Producer to provide project management across all aspects of Undercurrent: Movement of Jah People – a multifaceted project, which blends historical research, community engagement and creative collaboration.

In 2024, Revoluton Arts, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England, led the research phase of Undercurrent, exploring themes of bottom-up activism and associated music subcultures connected to communities along the River Lea, the natural heritage of the Lea and the Neolithic beginnings of Luton’s communities at Waulud’s Bank.

The ongoing central theme of the Undercurrent project is focused on movements of people in bottom-up activism, motivated by the principles of humanity and love – living better together, as opposed to with hostility. It will conduct deeper research into the physical movement of people – the super-diverse communities at either end of the Lea, Luton and London – and their connectedness. It will amplify voices hardly heard, make visible the communities seldom seen, and it will surface the pioneering music and creative subcultures that have promoted – and continue to inform – positive political and social change in multicultural society.

The Senior Heritage Producer will ensure the smooth running of the project and ensure that the aims and reach of the project are achieved. Working closely with Revoluton’s CEO/Creative Director, Executive Director and the project team (freelancers and existing members of the Revoluton team), the Undercurrent Senior Heritage Producer will oversee budget, timeline and evaluation across the project, ensuring key milestones and outcomes are achieved within the project timeline whilst fostering meaningful connection of the project in both London and Luton.

Equity, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do, from programming work with, by and for Lutonians, through to how we budget and build partnerships. We are committed to our organisation reflecting and celebrating Luton’s incredible diversity across ethnicity, age, gender, disability and socio-economic background. We therefore especially welcome applications from people with lived experience of the communities that we work with.
