Red Light Dark Room; Sex, lives and stereotypes

‘Everyone else sees us as whores and junkies, but not you’, she said. ‘You guys make us feel special.’ Gemma-Rose Turnbull spent a year as an artist in residence with St Kilda Gatehouse, a non profit organisation who work with street sex workers. She gave the women their own cameras and worked with them to tell their stories. The resulting work is a collection of insightful interviews, observations and photographs. A collection that seeks to open the shutters on their day to day lives.
