The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is actively working towards strengthening the relationship between Indigenous peoples and museums. In line with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the Canadian Museums Association’s Moved to Action report, ROM is dedicated to hiring individuals of Indigenous heritage for crucial positions. ROM seeks to fill three critical roles: Curator of North American Archeology, Curator of Indigenous Art & Cultures, and an Interpretive Planner in the Exhibitions Development department.
In addition to working on exhibitions and galleries of a diverse subject matter, the Interpretive Planner will collaborate with these curatorial roles, as well as the recently appointed Manager of Indigenous Learning and Programs to support Indigenous ways of being and knowing in a range of museum activities; these may include establishing protocols for care of Indigenous collections and cultural belongings, developing exhibition and gallery content, and enhancing ROM’s engagement with and service to Indigenous communities.
POSITION SUMMARY:
At ROM, we believe in creating holistic and visitor-centred experiences that blend learning, social connection, and engagement. As an Interpretive Planner, you will play a vital role in ROM exhibition and gallery planning teams. You’ll serve as the lead advocate for visitor engagement by crafting captivating narratives and ensuring meaningful connections with objects, and cultural belongings from across ROM’s art, nature, and culture collections.
