Sex Worker art shown at SF MOMA!

Hi All,
It's been buszzzzzzzzy here at newly re-committed to a life of art land.
There will be a more regular announcement coming soon, but this is a  
time- and issue-sensitive special edition!

On Thurs, Sept 11, I have been chosen to perform a 1-minute piece at  
the SFMOMA as part of Tony Labat's project "I WANT YOU" based on the  
old Uncle Sam Army recruitment posters.

Not only is it just *thrilling* that I will be performing at the MOMA,  
but there is a competition (which I need your help with!) and a good  
cause ('aint there always) attached to this prestigious event.

There will be 50 1 min. performances on Thursday, and the audience  
members will vote for FIVE (5) winners, who will have portraits and  
copies of their monologues printed on posters to be placed all over SF  
during election week.
My performance is about Sex Worker visibility and ending stigma, and  
also about voting for Prop K. It could really make a difference for a  
lot of sex workers and make a big impact if posters (paid for by the  
SFMoMA!) with my message were placed all over San Francisco right  
before the voters took to the polls. I love using art for politics and  
politics for art.  In the name of ART, SEX WORKERS RIGHTS, FAME and  
SEX-POSITIVE POLITICS, please come out to the SFMOMA on Thursday night  
and vote for me!  Lady Monster and Tara Jepsen and Beth Lisick will  
also be performing, and remember 5 of us can win!!!!

Live Competition
Tony Labat's I WANT YOU
Jason Mateo, Emcee; music by Veronica Klaus
Thursday, September 11, 6:30 p.m.
Phyllis Wattis Theater
$10 general; $7 SFMOMA members, students, and seniors.
Tickets are available at the museum (no surcharge) or online at  
sfmoma.org/tickets (surcharge applies).

On September 4, individuals can deliver one-minute monologues in solo  
auditions at SFMOMA. A week later, on September 11, fifty contestants  
chosen by the artist on the basis of these preliminary auditions will  
appear before a live audience and a host of documentary cameras. At  
the end of the evening, the audience will choose five winners. Poet  
and activist Jason Mateo, program director at Youth Speaks, will serve  
as emcee for the evening, and chanteuse Veronica Klaus
will provide musical interludes between monologues and during  
post-performance vote-counting. Winners will have their images and  
monologues printed on an "I Want You" poster, to be put up around the  
city in the week leading up to the presidential election. Participants  
will also be featured in Labat's new video project, I WANT YOU,  
screening at SFMOMA on November 4th (election day) and December 2nd.
