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 exhibition opening at Immigration Museum, Working Lives highlights a range of stories from our Museum collections which explore the diversity of our working experiences across time. Curators, collection managers and community storytellers will reflect on a selection of these stories, objects and images and what they tell us about how we have collected, documented and continue to develop our Museum collections through community engagement.

Melbourne Museum is hosting a great talk based on the exhibition – please note that the exhibition is at the Immigration Museum, however the talk is being held at the Melbourne Museum
