Whoring Art: Sex work in the city
After years of liberal municipal oversight, legislation, and regulation we are at a tipping point in the history of sex work in the city. And we won’t be silent as our workplaces, brothels, darkrooms, and queer bars are taken away from us! As the Amsterdam Gemeente continues their efforts to move the city’s central Red Light District to a prison-like mega-brothel in Amsterdam Zuid, come together with sex worker organizers, performers, writers and artists to amplify the autonomy of whores in de Wallen, Amsterdam and beyond. Hosted by Mercy St. J, and teasing a forthcoming book on the subject published by Spookstad.
