The 7×4’ portrait banners come alive when hung inside a host site, and hung outside on street lampposts at sitters’ events. Sex: Celebrated examines how sex ed, pro sex activities, and labor rights for sex workers influence one another. The project resonates with issues addressed by The Waitresses performance collaborative, cofounded by Allyn, including career options, a living wage, safe work environments, and body pleasurable service.Internationally exhibited, Allyn has been grant funded and commissioned for 30 years.
