Contribution to the exhibition Internationals in the City at the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven.For more than a century, people have come to Eindhoven to work. Over time, both occupations and the origins of labour migrants have evolved. Job descriptions from historical address books provide insight into this development. When connected to current residents, they reveal a shifting understanding of labour and identity.
This project compares the past and the present to explore how international communities and labour have shaped and transformed the city of Eindhoven.
