The project GUESTures by artist Margareta Kern focuses on the overlooked histories of women migrant workers, reflecting the fragmented nature of memory and narrative, and thinking through the radical potential of an artwork as an archive and a memorial to the unsaid and the unheard. The project is focused on and dedicated to migrant women who were part of organised mass migration from the socialist Yugoslavia to West Germany in the late 1960s - as the 'guest workers' or 'Gastarbeiter'.

personal archive...
The photographs above are from the personal album of Gordana, who kindly lent me her album and allowed me to use her photographs. Gordana worked for Telefunken for 12 years, and lived in different Wohnheims/Dorms since arriving to Berlin in October 1968.
