We are looking for a part-time (20 - 40 %)
Assistant for Production and Event Administration
with immediate effect
LUHMEN D'ARC is a label for the production and presentation of various cultural event and mediation formats, including community events and workshops, talks and lectures, but also performances and installations. Inventive and experimental, practical as well as theoretical, we deal with bodies, intimacies and emotions as well as with the diversity of sexualities, lust, displeasure and desire. We prefer critical perspectives and cultural studies approaches, and like to draw inspiration from mediation and reflection strategies of performative arts and their participatory forms. We work together with people from cultural studies and the humanities, with choreographers, performers and visual artists, with body and sex workers and specialists from the so-called sex-positive and BDSM scene.
We are a small label that wants to further develop the diversity and scope of its work. Our work requires an increasing organizational and administrative commitment. We are looking for an assistant for production and event administration for a long-term collaboration (at least 1 year).

Less experienced people are given the opportunity to familiarize themselves and get to know the organizer's work and some administrative tools in a very practical way. More experienced people are welcome to contribute their expertise and own ideas and to help shape and develop the processes and the label.
Working hours:
Initially approx. 10 hours up to a maximum of 16 hours per week in the future
mainly on weekdays, preferably 2-3 hours a day
Remuneration:

Gross hourly wage from CHF 27.50
=> Monthly salary for 10 hours per week CHF 1'100,-
If you live in Germany:
Gross hourly wage from EUR 19.
=> Monthly salary at 10 hours per week 760,-
Wage increases after training and in case of long-term cooperation as well as a 13th monthly salary are planned.
If the working hours are increased beyond 10 hours per week, partial remuneration through participation in events is also conceivable if there is interest.
As a cultural event label, LUHMEN D'ARC is in principle not profit-oriented: the broad and diverse range of events is currently only possible because all contributors clearly prioritize content over financial interests. We are aware that our proposed remuneration - which is only negotiable to a certain extent - is relatively low. We are endeavoring to change this with the further development of the label.
Application:
We look forward to receiving meaningful applications with a short letter of motivation and CV
