    This workshop will introduce Objects of Desire‘s archive, why we chose to start the archive, and then look at our stories of love, joy, shame, fear, frustration, and the boring day to day drudgery of work. Participants will consider what stories they would want to tell about their lives, which stories they would prefer not to have recorded, and how they’d like these to be passed on. This workshop prioritises those with experience of sex work, but welcomes anyone who is interested.

    SEX AND RAGE! is an organisation led by sex workers, educators and activists. We resist stigma and shame as the main causes of sexual and gender-based violence, and aim to make social change through sex education.

    Our work explores the intersections between sex workers rights and those of women, sexual minorities and marginalised communities, and offer events and workshops that engage in dialogue, creative and embodied practices as a way to empowering individuals and communities living in oppressive systems.

    Liad Hussein Kantorowicz performs ‘Unidentified’

    In 2017 the ‘ProstSchutzG’ or ‘The Prostitutes’ Protection Law’ first came into effect in Germany, forcing sex workers to register themselves and carry a state-issued ‘Hurenausweiß’ or ‘Whore-ID’ in order to work legally. This performance examines the relationship of sex workers to the IDs they’re now forced to carry.
