Womxn's Strike: We Walk Among You

About

How has society denied the existence of sexully autonomous women, and what danger belies the historical myth of the succubus? This International Women's Day in solidarity with Women's Strike, this exhibition of art and performance from sex workers seeks to question the demonisation of their labour; drawing parallels between historical myth and folklore, and the womxn socially ostricised in modern day society. All the

Society denies our reality, yet we walk among you.
We have a voice and we are here to be heard.

On International Women's Day 2020, Femmedaemonium and Special Patrol Group launch their London exhibition in aid of Women's Strike and the fight for equal rights. Showcasing work from sex working womxn and ritual performances from the daemons; We raise hell for our ancestors as we rise in solidarity for our kind.
We seek to dismantle the historical advertising campaign which continues to plague postmodern consumerism:  'SEX SELLS'.
As UK law continues to demonise womxn with autonomy and endangers those who choose the discernible sale of sex, society is forced into denying our very existence.
