About IKLECTIK

IKLECTIK is a grassroots arts organisation rooted in experimental sound, performance, and interdisciplinary cultural practice. Now based at Peckham Levels, IKLECTIK is expanding beyond a gig-based model into a radical, cross-disciplinary platform for counterculture, risk-taking, and collective research.

Our work operates across three interconnected strands:

• IKLECTIK LIVE - an in-house curated programme merging experimental sound, performance art, non-normative embodiment, visual practice, and accessible technologies.

• IKLECTIK RESEARCH - residencies, long-term artistic inquiry, experimental labs, and educational formats exploring sound technologies and embodied practices.

• IK TOGETHER (KIN) - a platform for collaborators, curators, promoters, and local experimental communities, foregrounding collective authorship and shared cultural production.

As we grow, we're looking for a Social Media & Communications Coordinator to help articulate IKLECTIK's evolving identity and connect our work with wider audiences.

The Role

The Social Media & Communications Coordinator will shape and deliver IKLECTIK's public voice across digital platforms. This role is about more than promotion: it's about translation, care, and storytelling, communicating complex, experimental practices in a way that is clear, inviting, and values-led.

Working closely with the core team, artists, and collaborators, the role will support events, residencies, research activity, and partnerships, ensuring IKLECTIK's communications feel coherent, alive, and aligned with our ethos.
