Hi Josephine,

Looks like you are finding some great resources!

For art projects and such, you might look up Carol Leigh
(http://www.bayswan.org/leigh_bio.html). Click around her Pros Education
Network (http://www.bayswan.org/penet.html) and you'll find all sorts of
art-related work, announcements for sex work film festivals etc. Also
Sasha Van Bon Bon does some fantastic local sex work activist art
performances and videos, so it might be worth checking out some of her
work online.

You can also look up past films screened at the Feminist Porn Awards. And
also past sessions at the Desiree Alliance Conferences.

You might like Michelle Tea's work (see: Rent Girl, 2004), and Shannon
Bell's Whore Carnival. At this point, it might be hard to get back issues
of Spread, unfortunately.

There are literally hundreds of books on sex work, as you know. Less that
focus on art. I'm not sure if you will be able to get access to it, but
you can probably order it from their website - from the Prostitution
Information Centre in Amsterdam. They have a book titled When Art Becomes
Work.

Other docs that are good: Hookers on Davie, Hot and Bothered: Feminist
Pornography, Scarlet Road: A Sex Workers Journey, Meet the Fokkens.

Last, I would go to a bunch of different sex worker rights organizations
websites (from across Canada, USA, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia) and
see if they have a pages with resources. From there you will be able to
get quite a bit of good suggestions for other progressive materials.

Hope that helps!

Let me know how your project shapes up.
