Whore Of New York

Description

Liara Roux is accustomed to being mislabelled and misunderstood. As a

child, LiaraÕs inquisitive, instinctive, and rebellious nature was

frequently problematised in a world designed around the requirements of

their neurotypical, cis, heterosexual male colleagues. Coming of age in an

oppressively restrictive home, they shuffled tarot and explored self

portraiture to rationalise the injustice of chronic pain, toxic lovers, and

the cruel silence of divinity. Critiquing capitalismÕs mechanisms of

exploitation, the conservatism of Western medicine, and the politics

surrounding sex work, Whore of New York: Confessions of a Sinful Woman is a

candid study of artistic awakening, and both spiritual and sexual growth

after abuse, seen through the eyes of a proud outsider.
