Work remains a cornerstone of identity for many of us. Yet the ways we think about work continues to evolve.

Work can shape and share ideas of community, gender, memory, creativity, sexuality, activism, ethnicity and our sense of individual and collective value. Work also acts as a thread that connects us to people, places and other times.

A new installation at Immigration Museum highlights a range of stories, objects and images from our museum collections which explore the diversity of our working experiences across time, culture, sexuality and experiences.
