with Red Canary Song and collaborators | Presented in partnership with Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at NYU
Red Canary Song activates CTHQ with performances on the occasion of the premiere of The Whores Feast. Filmed over a shared dinner with organizers and collaborators, the film reflects on nourishment, labor, chosen family, and the collective practices of care that sustain communities through ongoing precarity.
Red Canary Song is a grassroots organization of Asian and migrant sex workers and massage workers organizing transnationally. Their work is in the tradition of sex worker mutual aid, and they center base-building with migrant massage workers through labor rights, migrant justice, and abolitionist frameworks.
We Keep Us Safe: The Whores Feast and Feeding is presented in partnership with Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at NYU, and a part of Toward Sanctuary, a series of programs exploring the cultivation of sanctuary as a living history and ongoing aspiration inspired by Guadalupe Maravilla’s artistic practice and upcoming Creative Time public art commission.
Events will take place at CTHQ and engage other spaces across the city, including a nightclub and an urban farm.
