«Whoring Art: a Red Light Anthology»
🆔 ISBN: 9-789-08-3453-22-4
🗓️ 21st May 2026
👥 Edited: HXSSY
📔 Editorial: @spookstad 🛒 https://spookstad.boo/
[🔍 Search for the title, although it'll be towards the top for a while]> What happens when sex workers are in charge of their own image, labor laws, work places, and community spaces?
> Sex work everywhere is facing erasure from public life. In Amsterdam’s infamous Red Light District – De Wallen – the combined forces of gentrification, repression, hetero-cis sexism, and stigma are threatening its future. But sex workers have risen up, reclaiming the unconstrained genius and militancy of whores as the key to social transformation.
> This book brings together the voices of sex workers, queer and trans cultural workers, and Amsterdam’s squatting movement, to offer a radical vision of whoring liberated. Whoring Art: A Red Light Anthology is an abundant reimagination of sex work in the city.
> Edited by HXSSY, a former Red Light-based queer sex worker-centered collective led by Mercy St. J, Adanya Dunn, and Anna Torres.

I think this one speaks for itself. ^~
Amsterdam's Red Light District gets talked about far and wide (often with a fair amount if poison) 'cept by those actually working there. As usual for sex work.
The book is just published — literally release date was three days ago, the website hasn't updated the “preorder” label yet even — so I can't add any sort of review, but I can confidently advance this is a much-needed reframing~

The ladies of the night and their windows, captured on a spring evening: yes, what they say about Amsterdam is true, all of it. Now, I'd recommend a girlfriend experience outside De Wallen, but for the more bold at heart..."Give Me a Red Light"...

I spent the afternoon exploring the center of #Amsterdam from a standup paddle board.
The distortion in the photo is from the waterproof pouch holding my phone.
