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 infamous Red Light District – De Wallen – 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 weaves 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 is an abundant reimagination of sex work in the city.
