Lecture – Working Lives: Stories from the Immigration Museum’s Collection

Melbourne Museum 11 Nicholson St, Carlton, VIC, Australia

Working life stories from the past and present told through the Immigration Museum’s diverse collections. 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.
