The Story of @Work

Prosjekt: The Story of Work

In Europe working conditions are undergoing a rapid transition. A re-structuring process is underway, affecting the lives of almost every working citizen and informing Western social and cultural identity. A desire to creatively interrogate this issue has brought together independent artists and companies from six European countries. The Story of Work will be a process of research, discussion and creative exchange between these artists, workers, organisations and individuals e.g. policy makers, trade unions.

The Story of Work will explore working life in Europe at this unique point in history utilising the diversity of the participating artists and their cultural contexts. Through creative collaboration and research the project will explore the potential of art to act as a mediator raising cross-sector debate about the past, present and future of work. We aim to create a unique working model which might be used by other artists throughout Europe to engage with a variety of communities and issues affecting them.
