Description

Vigil for 8 Lives Lost with Red Canary Song: Reflections on Gender, Migration, Race, and the Policing of Intimate Labor Join us in this public event as we reflect on the year that has passed since the Atlanta massage murders of 2021. The CSSJ Human Trafficking Research Cluster will moderate a conversation with organizers, workers, and artists with Red Canary Song, a grassroots coalition of migrant workers, sex workers, and allies working with massage workers in Flushing, Queens. Following the talk, guests are invited to interact with a public art installation, “Curtains: A Weak Armor,” created by RCS to reflect on the surveillance, visibility, and practices of community care that define our work. Presented by the Center for the Study of Slavery and CSSJ Justice Human Trafficking Research Cluster Sponsored by the Marshall Woods Lectureships Foundation of Fine Arts, Department of American Studies, Sarah Doyle Women’s Center, The Pembroke Center
