The exhibition “Gastarbajteri” tries to provide an original view on the history of labour migration to Austria from the 1960s until the present day. Unlike traditional approaches, the exhibition is mainly focussed on the migrants’ perspective. Based on this principle, the NGO “Initiative Minderheiten”, which organised the project, shows how workers from economically weaker countries such as Yugoslavia and Turkey were hired in order to support the booming post-war economy in Austria. After being shown in public localities, the exhibition still exists "virtually" online
