Sex work and art have always been intimately related.
Most sex workers actively pursue art in the form of
poetry, sketching, photography, fashion, painting
and of course writing. This aspect of the cooperative
has captured the imagination of the sex worker community
with plans for the development of a play.
Sex workers
will engage artists from the greater community to
share techniques in a variety of artistic mediums,
providing physical space for sex workers to engage
in art, finding a way to collectively market sex worker
art and ensuring the availability of tools for creating
art.
This lighter side of community development has
given sex workers hope and will provide positive forms
of expression outside of what they are faced with
their daily lives. This will also serve to build understanding
between the greater community and the sex worker community.
This enterprise is currently on hold while we seek
funding to take our objectives forward.
