Curator of Nature and Time

Join to apply for the Curator of Nature and Time role at Emdad By Elm .

Join a team dedicated to a landmark national museum project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We are creating a flagship cultural institution that will showcase the cultures of the world. The project is a key contributor to the Kingdom's Vision 2030 goals, advancing the nation's cultural and creative sectors. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a project of national significance and global impact.

Job Purpose

The Curator of Nature and Time will be responsible for the conceptual development and intellectual coherence of these two thematic areas within the broader framework of world cultures and human history, as part of a new flagship national museum institution based in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This position carries curatorial leadership over two distinct yet complementary fields of reflection : the ways in which human beings adapt to, revere, and transform the natural world (Nature); and how they perceive, measure, and give meaning to the flow of existence and its cycles (Time). Through these two axes, the curator will articulate narratives that connect artworks, objects, and testimonies of various nature — across materials, periods, styles, and cultural contexts — aiming to establish dialogues that illuminate how societies have sought, throughout history, to create social bonds and to give meaning to existence. The curator will work collaboratively within the museum’s curatorial team to ensure that the themes of Nature and Time contribute fully to the overarching vision of this new institution, dedicated to exploring the diversity of human creativity and cultural expression as the shared heritage of humankind.
