We are seeking an experienced interdisciplinary Curator to initiate, develop, and produce a dynamic Live programme that extends and activates the gallery’s exhibitions and curatorial vision. This role is central to how audiences experience Serpentine both within and beyond the gallery walls - through talks, performances, participatory experiences, and cross-disciplinary live formats. This role will activate the Serpentine as a site of encounter, experimentation and exchange.
Building on our flagship live programming strands such as the annual Marathons, Park Nights, Serpentine Cinema and Study Days, you will initiate and produce a live programme that runs alongside and through our onsite exhibitions - not as interpretation but as an extension, interruption and sometimes provocation.
The Live Programmes Curator will work closely with the Programmes, Production and Audience teams to create innovative, interdisciplinary programming that is rigorous, accessible, and responsive to diverse audiences. This position offers the opportunity to shape a distinctive Live Programme that expands the ways in which audiences encounter contemporary art, and the spaces through which artists produce it.
The Live Programmes Curator will play a key role in positioning Serpentine as a site for experimentation, dialogue, and shared experience.
