Rolling Opportunity – Join our Critical Friends group

Two Queens is seeking new volunteer members for our Critical Friends Group, to help us evaluate and shape our public programmes. 

We are seeking critical feedback from people who access our exhibitions and events, and in particular from those whose lived experiences have been historically under-represented in spaces like ours. Traditional evaluation methods like surveys don’t always capture the things we are doing well or that we could improve, so our aim is that receiving longer-term, in-depth feedback will help us to better improve how we meet the needs of our community.

Currently we are looking for critical friends who are either:

• Leicester-based young people aged 18-25
• Families with children aged 5-12 
• Local practising artists from global majority backgrounds
• Local practising artists aged 65 plus
• Audience members who are d/Deaf or disabled
• Audience members with a Queer or Trans gender identity

As a critical friend, you will be invited to attend our exhibitions and events at a time that suits you, and have the opportunity to give feedback through a 1-2-1 conversation with Two Queens staff in person or over video chat. We anticipate these conversations will take around 30 minutes. There is no minimum commitment to take part in feedback sessions – you may want to attend some or all of the sessions you are invited to. We are unable to pay for your time, but we can reimburse travel costs within the Leicester area to and from Two Queens to allow participation. 

This is a rolling opportunity with applications to join accepted at any time. To apply please complete the google form here, or contact us if you would like to make your application by alternative means: info@2queens.com
