About the project

Against the backdrop of Hamburg as a port city – shaped by the contradictions of labour movements, economic migration, and international, historically colonial trade – the exhibition interweaves human relationships, economic structures, and social realities. The result is a fabric of narratives held taut between its two recurring themes: work and love. It’s Never Love, It’s Always Work asks: can work and love be disentangled? How does the answer to this question affect our personal and collective realities – how does it affect intimacy, relationships, migration, care work, and artistic production itself? 

Collectively developed by the participating students, supervised by Özlem Altın.
