The Whore Gaze

Women on the Line

On this episode of Women on the Line we hear from sex worker artists Rogelio Ruckus, Kayla Tange, and Daphne Nguyen speak to the erotic labour of art, family and futurity. This panel was held as part of ‘The Whore Gaze’– an exhibition curated by Elizabeth Dayton and Kim Ye at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions. The exhibition showcased film, videos and a panel that celebrate the legacy of sex workers as visionaries reimagining representations of care, labor, and sovereignty. It was held on International Whore’s Day June 2nd last month.The featured song on today’s show was ‘All are syllables of a great tongue’ from Papaphillia’s album ‘Remembrance of things to come’.
