The Black Reconstruction Collective is seeking a visionary Executive Director to lead the organization as it transitions from a founding board to a governing board to continue our mission to provide funding, design, and intellectual support to BRC Prize recipients. Founded in 2020, the Black Reconstruction Collective (BRC) is committed to multi-scalar and multi-disciplinary work dedicated to dismantling systemic white supremacy and hegemonic whiteness within art, design, and academia. The founding members of the BRC have produced work for an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art and received significant grants from the Graham Foundation, Open Society, and the Mellon Foundation.
The BRC engages the public through an annual process of identifying overlooked but talented thinkers and makers whose work aligns with the mission of the organization. Through a rigorous nomination and review process we provide critical and financial support to projects that have been selected by the Collective. The fellows' work will manifest in built commissions, research funding, exhibitions, events, and publications, that in aggregate, collectively imagine transformations to the built environment in the Black Radical Tradition. A biennial convening allows further opportunities for collaboration between past and future fellows.
Key responsibilities of the Executive Director include:
Reports to: BRC Board of Directors on a regular basis (determined by the executive board members.)
The ideal candidate is:
A Master's degree in Arts Management, Non-Profit Management, or comparable experience is desired. The preferred candidate will have at least 3 years of leadership as an Executive Director, or entrepreneurial experience.
