Workers Museum
The Workers Museum strives to keep the heritage of migrant workers alive and fill a gap in public memory. Like its predecessor, the Workers' Library and Museum, the museum offers spaces for special exhibitions, cultural events as well as educational programmes around migrant labour for communities, school groups and the general public.
In cooperation with Khanya College the Workers Museum aims to preserve and promote the intangible and tangible heritage of labour migration in the Southern African region. It will engage workers and the general public in participative heritage, memory and dialogue programmes that de-construct stereotypes, recognise diversity and contribute to social cohesion and the strengthening of cultural identities.
