The CCA Exhibitions Team seeks an individual passionate about contemporary art, design, and writing to assist the Lead Editor in producing Rewind Review Respond (RRR). RRR is an online forum where CCA students write about the ideas that affect their practice, communities, and fields of study. The forum was founded by Katherine Jemima Hamilton (Visual and Critical Studies, Curatorial Practice 2022) in fall 2020, to help foster conversation and a sense of connection at CCA during a time of social-distance learning. It continues as a site for discussion and collaboration across CCA divisions, and as an opportunity for professional development.

The Assistant Editor will assist the Lead Editor in editing, copy-editing, and proofreading reviews and interviews for the RRR column, and review audio and visual work. They will reach out to current CCA students from a broad range of disciplines to respond to events and exhibitions, and shepherd them through the editorial process. The Assistant Editor will also be expected to produce one or two responses to an event or exhibition during the semester.

• Previous experience editing written text in English
• Excellent organizational, written, and communication skills
• Keen attention to detail and an ability to work independently
• Some knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and/or InDesign is an asset but not required
