**Duties and Responsibilities**:
Learning Activity 5 of _The Imprint of Education _study looks closely at the structural barriers to livelihood generation and economic participation for young people in Africa. As part of this, young African researchers currently based at the HSRC on a two-year fellowship are working to produce a Virtual Museum of Youth Livelihoods on the continent. The museum will include podcasts and research papers produced by the fellows, across a range of topics such as African economic history, urban-rural divides, climate change, gender, conflict, amongst others.

The virtual museum will have 4 narrative-based main rooms, with additional subsections to each room. Proposed themes for rooms include: (1) Time and Change; (2) Place and Space; (3) Bodies and (4) Money. These themes are employed as prisms to better understand challenges and opportunities for youth livelihoods on the continent.

We are looking for artists from the African continent under the age of 35 to contribute artwork on the broad topic of the working lives of young Africans, for inclusion in the virtual museum, to enhance its visual appeal.

We are open to all formats i.e. drawing, painting, a series of photographs, performance, video works etc. Additionally, we are also open to proposals for digital art. The artist is however responsible for filming or photographing the work in high resolution (at least 5mb) so that it can be uploaded onto the virtual museum and for submitting it in an appropriate format (images: png or.jpg files; videos: mp4, m4d, avi, or.mov files; photospheres: png or jpg files; 3D models: glb format or 3D sketches on SKETCHFAB).

**Evaluation**

The adjudication criteria will be based on originality, quality, technical competence, strength of the concept, previous work, as well as a balance of gender and geographic location of potential contributors.

**Contract**

Artists will be expected to enter into a copyright agreement, stipulating that copyright ownership will belong to the artist but granting the HSRC a non-exclusive, royalty free licence to use the artworks for the purposes of the virtual museum, in HSRC documents and publications. Artists should also be comfortable having their profiles included in the virtual museum as contributors
