- Develop artworks that can accompany writings about emerging initiatives and actors who are challenging new and old forms of misogyny and inequality. You will be working closely with the content developer in keeping the website and social media updated. ((1-2 artworks per month)
- Ensure that the monthly social media calendars generate a visual impact through interesting and empowering images (Up to 10 collaterals which can mean a lay-out design, illustration and the like)
