> All welcome to a weekend of sex worker resistance and joy!

> Featuring workshops, talks and visual art in the form of a huge timeline of legislation around sex work, how it affects us and how we resist it.

> Hosted by Scotland for Decrim – a grassroots campaign fighting for the full decriminalisation of sex work in Scotland. We’re a welcoming group, whose members are both people with lived experience of sex work and allies.

> Hard Labour is a spark flying from the past into the future – from the fire of our long history of sex worker resistance, the flame of our current struggles to the warmth of our future dreams.

> Hard Labour is collective action, a labour of love, a welcome to make art.

> Partnering with Arika and Transmission our weekend of events invites you into a glimpse of our imagined futures, creating time in the now where we can truly exist.
