Our Inner Quarters art exhibit will run until Dec 8th. Friday will be the last day to view.

This panel brings together scholars and activists working across different sites – the United States, the Caribbean, Thailand, and China – who are at the forefront of theorizing sex, gender, labor and migration. Challenging colonial narratives of rescue, redemption, and rehabilitation that undergird the global anti-trafficking movement, the panelists collectively envision global gender/sexual/economic justice by foregrounding the perspectives, expertise, and organizing efforts of workers themselves. This panel serves as a closing celebration of the art exhibition “Our Inner Quarters: The Spaces of Work and Care of Red Canary Song,” which highlights the art and activism of Red Canary Song, a grassroots collective of Asian and migrant sex workers and massage workers based in Queens, NY. 

Organized by the NYU Intersectional Feminist/Queer Studies Collective and the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality; co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU.
