Chandler Smith – HXSSY

HXSSY: Queer SW Arts & Culture is an arts collective of sorts and an homage to the simultaneous politics and poetics of queer and trans* wh*res. Our current projects include founding a queer sex worker art house in de Wallen & a matinee series for queer sex workers at the infamous Casa Rosso Theatre. HXSSY is organized by Mercy St. J, Anna Torres, and Adanya Dunn.

Mercy St.J (they/them) is the founder of HXSSY, a FSSW, dominatrix, writer, photographer, community organizer. Interested in all things debaucherous, raunchy, kinky, & profane they see whoring as both a creative art form and important political tool to upturn systems that oppress queers, trans folks, and sex workers. St.J lives in Berlin & Amsterdam.

Chandler Smith – HXSSY

is a place to discover Amsterdam’s dynamic and forward-thinking art scene.

Artist and architect Ola Hassanain intertwines family history with the materiality and temporality of water and clay. For this manifestation, Hassanain shares her ongoing visual research into the spatial implications of catastrophes. In this provocation the artist zooms in on an intimate ‘site of catastrophe’: her grandmother’s house.
