This photo exhibition showcases images captured between October 2023 and February 2024 by platform-based delivery workers in Melbourne. These images offer unique insights into the daily experiences of the people who deliver our meals, our groceries, and sometimes our medicine. Contributors captured moments of boredom, solidarity, joy, interest, frustration, and compliance. Together, these images present the realities of an evolving work landscape.

Research Statement

Social Science This is the first research project in the gig economy area in Australia that used photo-elicitaion method to explore gig workers' everyday lives.
