Description: Stella Maris is a long-term project on Eastern European migrant workers in the Netherlands. The former monastery Stella Maris was bought and renovated by a specialized employment agency for migrant workers. Welberg now receives 400 East European guest residents, mostly from Poland. All apartments are furnished similarly, there is a high 'Ikea level'. The monastery contains a grocery store, bowling alley, bar, party room and fitness room. The intention is that the guest workers abide as much as possible inside Stella Maris to make sure they don?t cause disruption to the villagers. After all the group of East European guest workers is necessary, but not necessarily welcome.
