A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
First in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. Does work that asks us to be attentive to the needs of others force us to sell our capacity for kindness?
