Join us for this ritual photography and performance exhibition launching on International Women's Day as part of the 2022 Sex Work Strike.

Showcasing Selina Mayer's 'Icons' series, this candlelit sacrarium features portraits of sex workers photographed with antique plate cameras to create one-of-a kind prints. Hand embroidered with metallic thread, the work echoes traditional painted icons, but employs a skillful art form rarely recognised in the patriarchal art world. This exhibition seeks to reclaim historical iconography and patriarchal views of 'the divine feminine', Illuminating the hypocritical continuum of 'sex sells' within a post-capitalist infrastructure whilst autonomous labour in the field remains criminalised and stigmatised.

Featuring themes on: Feminine archetypes and mythologies, witchcraft and sex magick, queer sex work feminism.

Originally produced for the We Walk Among You: Womxn’s Strike exhibition on International Women’s Day 2020, curated by sex worker art collective FemmeDaemonium and subvertising art activists Special Patrol Group.

Please note: The public photography exhibition will run from 12pm-6pm throughout the week on a donation basis and is welcome to all.
