In this podcast, Rebecca and Holly chat with the directors and a performer from the Sex Worker’s Opera. Breaking through stigma and stereotypes, the Sex Worker’s Opera is a multimedia production written and performed by Sex Worker artists and their friends. We talk about the challenges of representation and confidentiality and how to lead community arts initiatives that value rather than exploit the stories of those involved.
