When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).

For this day-long festival, sex workers and their allies from New York, the tri-state area, and Europe will gather at MoMA PS1 to debate, perform, dance, strategize & share knowledge.
