Whoring Art book launch
Book launch of Whoring Art: A Red Light Anthology, with pole dancing performances, readings, music, drinks and books! Doors open at 19:00 Program starts 19:30. About the book: What happens when sex workers are in charge of their own image, labor laws, work places, and community spaces? Sex work everywhere is facing erasure from public life. In Amsterdam's Red Light District, the combined forces of gentrification, repression, hetero-cis sexism, and stigma are threatening its future. But sex workers have risen up, reclaiming the unconstrained genius and militancy of whores as the key to social transformation. This book brings together the voices of sex workers, queer and trans cultural workers, and Amsterdam's squatting movement, to offer a radical vision of whoring liberated. Whoring Art: A Red Light Anthology is an abundant reimagination of sex work in the city. With a kinky vinyl cover, and containing over 30 contributions and dozens of pictures, the book is edited by Mercy St. J, Adanya Dunn and Anna Torres – the former HXSSY collective – and published by Spookstad. Part of the proceeds will go to sex work related projects in Amsterdam and abroad!
