Firehouse News
The Sex Workers’ Art Show Tour* is coming to the Firehouse!
posted on March 24, 2009
“The Sex Workers’ Art Show is not simply a display of those in the sex industry… but an active force in articulating, shaping, and contesting the meaning of the identity ‘sex worker’ in the public sphere” --Theatre Journal
This cabaret-style show brings audiences a blend of spoken word, music, drag, burlesque, and multimedia performance art. Intelligent and hot, disturbing and hilarious, the performances offer a wide range of perspectives on sex work, from celebration of prostitutes’ rights and sex-positivity to views from the darker sides of the industry. The Sex Workers’ Art Show entertains, arouses, and amazes while simultaneously offering scathing and insightful commentary on notions of class, race, gender, labor and sexuality. Featuring Jo Boobs, Chris Kraus, Lorelei Lee, The World Famous *BOB*, Simone de la Getto, Erin Markey, Reginald Lamar, and tour founder and director Annie Oakley.
