A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.
