This work is primarily carried out in Naarm - on the traditional lands of the Kulin nation. Sovereignty was never ceded. I pay my respects to the elders - the holders of knowledge, tenders of the land and keepers of stories; and the generations of the present and future, who carry on the lineage and stand for country.

Performance Line up

Ugliest Hottie

Daring and unapologetically authentic, Ugliest Hottie (they/he) is a non-binary force of fire.

With a magnetic presence and armed with a powerful blend of creativity and courage, Ugliest Hottie is set to create a moment that allows you to see yourself in them.

Salem Serene

Salem Serene uses movement and dance to explore the depths of human feeling. Their art examines the queer BIPOC worker experience with tenderness and unflinching vulnerability. In particular, Salem is curious about the duality found in each of us: our light and our shadow, the desire to watch and also be watched. Each performance invites you to come in close, and see yourself reflected in another.

Moving away from performing for men and more towards queer audiences, Salem’s performance piece explores the concepts of chosen family, what it's like to rely on sex work for your income, and the ups and downs of the industry.

Taylor Bradfield

Taylor Bradfield is a performer who was raised in a strictly religious family but grew up to be a triumphantly filthy sex-worker. She uses her experiences to create cabaret that explores spirituality, sex, shame, and how to get paid for flashing your tits. Through song, dance and comedy, Taylor honestly and humorously tells stories of finding your own pleasure and not feeling bad about it.

Basjia

Basjia aka Angel aka Angelpussy is a black dancer, sex siren, a goddess, a blessing. She creates art to empower and celebrate the black femme body and to show how powerful and sacred all bodies are. Her movement is about expressing her sexuality and sensuality she also shares her body as a visual protest of feeling liberated. Her work is to remind us that black women were the pioneers of s/w, of strip, that they are the ones who sensationalised what we see today, and that whilst they've been erased time and time again, they are never forgotten. Her performance invites you to liberate, liberate yourself from whatever is confining you from feeling sexy, strong, special, it's time to feel free.

Api

Sex Siren, writer, model, and jacker of all trade, Api has graced many a stage, page, and lap across the country.

Influenced by his Fijian heritage, queerness, the Ballroom scene, and unabated whoring - Api celebrates the joy of sensuality, freedom, and wearing very little.

Jemmbot

Jemmb0t has been sharing her expertise as a teacher and choreographer for over a decade, nurturing aspiring dancers to unlock their potential.

Step into Jemmb0t ‘s world as she unleashes her artistic prowess, weaving together athleticism, grace and profound storytelling.

For this show, Jemmb0t is exploring the dichotomy of sex work; the empowerment and disempowerment, the sensuality and the sinister, the offering and the emptiness.

Miss Vixen

In celebration of dark feminine power and the energy female sexuality holds, Vixen invites your imagination into a velvet room of elusive experience. Beginning her journey in ballroom, vixen captures the femme fatale archetype on the runway. Enchanting and mischievous, allow yourself to indulge in the illusion created by every inch of her skin.

Lyla Bautista

Lyla’s work is akin to a literary stream of consciousness, with music and movement her pen and paper. An outpouring of ineffable emotions cascading and intertwining autonomously through her flesh. Sex is an industry inextricably intertwined with her identity. As a Filipina trans woman, sex workers had been shaping her life, fighting for her rights, carving out space for her existence since long before she set foot on this earth. Hers is a story of sex and surrender, pain and vulnerability, power and love.

Visual Artist Line up

Txnth Muse

A cheeky, yet compelling and profoundly emotional body of fictional fantasy visual storytelling that explores the deep and whimsical imaginings of a queer sex worker.

Txnth Muse grew up with her arts and her books as a refuge amongst unfamiliar worlds - always carrying her to the safety and freedom that lay within her imagination. Using her love for storytelling she has created a body of multidisciplinary art that meets in the world between fantasy and reality. This artistic endeavor serves as a means to express the emotional landscape of life within the sex industry, carving narratives into form with large clay sculptural pieces and mixed media photography.

aKA Emil Cañita

Emil Cañita is a trans Filipino artists who challenges societal norms through their lens. As a sex worker, Emil intertwines her experiences with her clients whilst capturing poignant moments on Polaroid film.

Inspired by renowned queer Asian artist, William Yang, and with his permission, Emil adapts his unique style of storytelling into her works whilst instilling her unique voice alongside it. Her work serves as a powerful exploration of intimacy, identity, and the often marginalized lives of fellow sex workers, creating a visual narrative that demands acknowledgment and empathy. Through their lens, Emil challenges stereotypes and sheds light on the complex intersections of gender, sexuality, and occupation

Ambient Anxiety

Ambient Anxiety is an Eora based interdisciplinary creative. Her practice spans photography, visual arts and the written word, though each of her artistic tendrils emerge from, and are tended by, the substratum of her sex work.

Eternally informed and inspired by such intimate contact to the nexus of sex and power, her featured work is an excerpt from an ongoing and expansive exploration into the Madonna-Whore Complex, patriarchy, the control and consumption of Femme bodies, pleasure & rage.

Desiree

Dissatisfied with how the sex industry in Naarm was being commercially photographed (and by whom), I fell into a natural harmony between my roles as an artist and a sex worker. While cultivating a safe space for my peers by inviting them into my moody, daytime soap tv inspired world, I also found I was able to establish my own sense of community; connecting through varied shared experiences regardless of what our own version of sex work looked like and how it operated.

Designed to be touched, shared, admired, played with; “Lucky You” is a series of intimate portraits of workers I’ve crossed paths with both in Naarm and Eora—whether through the club, in chain hotel rooms, behind a bar, online or in front of my lens. Its goal is to pass on, through our own hands, that same feeling—serving as a catalyst for shared experiences rooted in joy and connection.

DreamUgly

Dream Ugly Wake Up is a zine and an on-going collection of fantasies, collaged erotica and discarded journal entries. Whilst inviting the viewers into a world of dream like visuals, her work challenges the largely debated distinction between erotic art and porn.

E’s themes of metamorphosis and renewal binds together worlds of ethereal landscapes, visual narratives and curated chaos.

Anonymous Sex Worker

‘In these purple walls’ is an honest collection of musings on the ironic and messy times working as a FSSW at my home br0thel, a place where I have had my most profound, funny, sad, and stupid moments.

This multimedia piece encapsulates the strange and vast array of feelings that I have had at work which are informed by the unique working environment of a br0thel and the hours of pondering that happens when I sit still for hours at a time. The beautiful and spiky floral cave represents the br0thel and is made of recycled artificial and dried plant materials. It is constructed with recycled chicken wire and is accompanied by a series of poems and words gathered over the past two years that were written in the ‘girls’ room.

Quinn Kush

This is a photographic experience of my loves; Cannabis and Erotica

I have been called to create this body of work to display the beauty of these exquisite medicines who have been locked in the shadows. Within the intersection of Erotica and Marijuana we see that they have both been demonized, stigmatized, endured incarceration and still fight for legalization and the right to be celebrated as healing modalities. It is my intention to shine a golden light on the transcendental state inhaled from the empowerment and creativity of these expressions, most especially when they are experienced intentionally. Obsessed with the time period that we are currently traversing and the pendulum shift taking place for more liberation both within own bodies and the world!

A body of work by photographer Han Marko aka Quinn Kush, a queer sex worker for women and queer folks. Revolutionising the whole game baby!

Film Screenings

House of Whoreship

When Violet, a suburban brothel worker returns to work post break-up, she is confronted by her recent ex-girlfriend coincidentally hustling the same shift. In order to make her rent money, Violet must stick out through the awkward agony of working alongside her ex in a space that disrupts all social norms. As the shift progresses Violet is led to the question: If avoidance leads to resentment and misunderstanding, can vulnerability lead to forgiveness and closure?

Holly Bates is a Naarm/Melbourne-based emerging filmmaker and visual artist.

Bates’s creative practice aims to dismantle and challenge the toxic film tropes historically used to depict sex workers on screen. Employing filmic methods that abandon the male gaze, Bates seeks to empower workers; honing in on the complexities and subtleties of interpersonal relationships and the day-to-day lived experience within the sex industry. Artist and filmmaker, Bates is driven to create conceptually rich worlds and stories, layered for both sex worker and mainstream audiences. Using humor and intersectional approaches to film-making, Bates explores personal narratives that are informed by her position as a queer feminist.

Let these festivities ignite the horniest, most passionate and mystical parts of your being and fantasies of a world that could be.

Love, War and Theatre is working to highlight the humans in the sex industry for their historical relevance, importance, and their potential expressiveness and therapeutic nature in a world where sex work is currently often ostracised, appropriated and dangerously misunderstood by the general public. So many of us turn to sex work for survival, yet stay for the community, self respect and freedom it shows us. Historically, many have also used our work to build influence and create change for the communities around us, often without credit.
Through this event we wish to reflect the unequal standing ground we all have to build the foundations of our lives from in a capitalistic and patriarchal society, showcasing an emotional truth of where we are currently as a culture and how many sex workers have learnt to move forward."
