A paid job? Household obligations? A task that has to be done? There is always something to do. Some activities bring recognition and wages. Others simply arise – unpaid, invisible and mostly carried out by women. But isn't all of this work? Care work still counts as a "female resource" on which our society relies as a matter of course. Terms such as nursing shortage, gender pay gap and part-time trap today name a historically grown imbalance in work and pay.
The exhibition Alles Arbeit. Frauen zwischen Erwerbs- und Sorgetätigkeit, Fotoarchiv Blaschka 1950–1966, explores these themes. It can be seen from 29 January 2026 at the Haus der Geschichte Österreich on the Alma Rosé-Plateau.
