A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.

A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
