flag A Montreal museum exhibit titled "By and For: 30 Years of Sex Worker Resistance" highlights the activism and resilience of sex workers, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the advocacy group Stella, l'amie de Maimie. flag Featuring personal stories, archival materials, artwork, and a quilt made by inmates, the display at the Centre des mémoires montréalaises underscores sex workers’ roles in social justice movements, including HIV/AIDS advocacy, anti-poverty efforts, anti-racism protests, and resistance to gentrification. flag Centered on figures like Maimie Pinzer, a 1915 activist, the exhibit emphasizes bodily autonomy, dignity, and intersectional solidarity. flag Despite expectations of explicit content, it is PG-rated and focuses on resistance, not sex work itself, aiming to educate the public and challenge stigma. flag The exhibit runs until March 15, 2026.
