(Mis)Representations of Sex Work, Migration and Trafficking In the Arts
(Mis)Representations of Sex Work, Migration and Trafficking In the Arts
Sex work is real work--but when the sex workers in question are migrant women of colour, their work is typically conflated with human trafficking. In this workshop, activists Elene Lam and Chanelle Gallant will explore how artists can use representation to support migrant sex workers in their pursuit of safety, dignity and justice.
