Sex Work? Art? Oh!My!

Time and Place
Date: Thursday, February 22, 2007
Time: 5:00pm - 7:00pm
Location: West Lecture Hall, Franklin Patterson Hall, Hampshire College


The members of the Sex Workers Art Show will be traveling to the Pioneer Valley
to perform at UMass – Amherst and the next day, they're coming to Hampshire.
These artists will be coming to show examples of their work, talk about their
experiences in the industry, and provide a forum for discussing greater
strategies of queer activism. This will be a panel discussion with ample time
for questions for and about the work of the Sex Workers Art Show.

The Sex Workers Art Show is a traveling cabaret-style show that includes music,
spoken word, burlesque and multimedia performance art from artists involved in
all aspects of the sex worker industry. The performance offers a wide range of
perspectives about the industry – from sex-positive affirmations of the
identity of a “sex worker” to darker stories from the underside of the
controversial community. Strippers, prostitutes, domes, film stars, phone sex
operators, Internet-models, & more come together to create a multi-faceted look
at the sex worker industry from a perspective that uses visual and performance
art to challenge the stigma that surrounds sex work.
