“The book accompanies ‘The Making of the Chinese New Working Class’, an exhibition by the Culture and Art Museum of Migrant Workers Beijing that took place at  MINI/Goethe-Institut Curatorial Residencies Ludlow 38 in New York from 14 July through 4 September, 2011.
The Culture and Art Museum of Migrant Workers (CAMMW) was initiated in 2008 by a former migrant worker and musician, Sun Heng, and is located in Picun, a village outside Beijing that is home to more than 10.000 migrant workers. CAMMW is a project of Migrant Workers’ Home, an NGO founded in 2002, and dedicated to supporting the rights of migrant workers, providing education for their children, and serving as a community center. The purpose of the museum is to record the histories of migrant workers and to advocate for the value of their labor.” (Tobi Maier)
