Re-imagining the workplace 2024 is a public event developed collaboratively by Ana Estrada, Nasrikah and Okui Lala.
Ana Estrada is a Brisbane-based artist working with residents and caregivers in the aged care sector, focusing on the importance of storytelling in creating safe spaces for dialogue. Nasrikah is an Indonesian domestic worker based in Malaysia, and a founding member of the Indonesian Migrant Domestic Workers Association (PERTIMIG) in Malaysia. Okui Lala’s highly collaborative work engages family and members of the broader community to explore how different languages, identities and nuances contribute to social identity.
Nasrikah and Okui previously worked together on a documentary and an event series that facilitates dialogue around diasporic female labour. Created in collaboration with Estrada, Re-imagining the workplace will gather caregivers to share perspectives on their complex occupation and to collectively rethink its possibilities. These include three migrant domestic workers from Indonesia based in Malaysia, and seven aged care workers based in Brisbane.
