Traces of Migration

Graphic Design, Photographic Documentation

The exhibition "Traces of Migration - On the Trail of Contract Labor in Weimar" makes East German migration stories visible. The focus is on everyday stories of former so-called contract workers, who were recruited between the 1960s and 1980s to fill the labor shortage in the GDR economy. This form of labor migration also occurred at the Volkseigener Betrieb Weimar-Werk, where agricultural machinery was manufactured during the GDR era. Between Dec. 15-18, 2022 - open daily from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. - the exhibition will take place at the historic work site, the KET Hall in Weimar.
