Sex workers bring our films to the street, projecting stories about our work on walls throughout our city. The concept of this outdoor cinema event was developed by Erica Fabulous. Fabulous wanted to develop cultural events which would reach out to sex workers and others who are not usually represented in the sex worker arts communities, so she conceived of this guerrilla art event. Curated by Laure McElroy, Race, Poverty and Disability Scholar at Poor magazine, welfareQueens performer and writer/editor of System Bitch, the event will take place in late May 21, 2011 (May 22 in case of rain) during a week long series of sex worker sponsored events in San Francisco.

On the occasion of Up Against The Wall, Erica Fabulous, Scarlot Harlot and a bevy of other sex workers, artists and friends will be driving a movie van with films, sundries, gifts and safer sex materials out to the streets and alleyways throughout San Francisco projecting sex worker made movies Up Against the Walls.

We will be screening short films by and about sex workers, about our lives, visions and rights, encouraging diverse participation and diverse perspectives. We will be joined by GLITTERACTION! http://www.facebook.com/glitteraction

 

The event is structured as a night of community building, as we share resources, make connections, and exchange the latest info about sex workers around the world. Participants include Sex Workers’ Outreach Project (San Francisco); Center for Sex and Culture’s Sex Worker Media Library, the 7th Biennial San Francisco Sex Worker Film and Arts Festival and many more.
