Wellcome Foundation - Hard Graft
« on: 20 February 2025, 10:11:33 pm »
The Wellcome Collection on London's Euston Road currently have an exhibition called "Hard Graft" on work, health and rights. (It's part of charity funded by the money made by the founder of a pharmaceutical company.)

It's divided into three parts, 'the plantation', 'the street', and 'the home'. The middle one includes a section on sex work (although the big sculpture/video bit isn't about street work but a man who sells/sold online).

The archive material from the UK suffers a bit from coming from limited sources, there's my usual quibble that sex work in New Zealand is regulated rather than decriminalised, and I wonder how many visitors will realise just what Female Trouble (and John Waters' other films) meant to bi/gay/queer men in the 1980s, but it's well worth a visit.

The Wellcome Foundation have several billion quid, so it's free and runs until 27th April this year.
'The Ian formerly known as SW5'. What they said: "Indispensable", "You are our best resource", and (hours later!) "I'm afraid that you're being made redundant..."
