PRIVATE PRACTICES
Join artist and dancer Kayla Tange to reflect on Private Practices: AAPI Sex Worker and Performance Art collection. This collection highlights sexual labor and healing-focused celebrations of Asian perspectives and was organized shortly after the 2021 Atlanta shooting. It contains paystubs, apparel, set pieces, police reports, a nuisance lawsuit against an adult business operating in an apartment, and craigslist postings for live/work spaces.
We will ask together: In what ways do you think your own stories influence how you make sense of these materials? What feelings are you experiencing while going through a collection including private materials?
