The multimedia exhibition recontextualises the term Gastarbeiter (literally “guest worker”) at the intersection of the experience of migration, the precarious position of cultural workers, and the urge to deconstruct contemporary relations of class and production from a postcolonial perspective. The struggles of artists, workers, and (temporary) migrants are made visible without documentary references to the history of temporary employment programs. The curatorial selection focuses on practices in which questions of work, migration, and everyday life are intertwined with critical perspectives on power relations.
