At the heart of this powerful artistic intervention are three cars illuminated by red light from within. The windows are fogged up, covered with water droplets, and inscribed with hearts, handprints, and messages: “The back seat is not a place for violence,” “Hug me,” “STOP violence,” and “Sex work is work.” These messages serve as a call for solidarity, understanding, and support for our community in the fight against violence and stigma.
The Story Behind “Silent Red Rooms”
Behind the fogged windows, these cars tell silent yet powerful stories—stories of vulnerability and exclusion.
The back seat transforms into a space of intimacy but also danger, symbolizing the lives of sex workers who live on the margins of society, often ignored and judged.
This artistic intervention opens the door to the invisible—to lives that deserve to be recognized and respected. It calls for dialogue and awareness about the violence and stigma that sex workers endure daily.
The Message We Send
“Silent Red Rooms” is a creative call for understanding and support for sex workers in our country. Through artistic performance, visual intervention, and public engagement, this initiative aims to:
- Raise public awareness for recognizing and accepting sex work as any other profession.
- Inspire empathy instead of prejudice.
- Stop violence and stigma against sex workers.
- Send a message that every life, every choice, and every voice matters.
Look through the fogged windows
This is a call to action—to clear the silence, end the violence, and create a space for dignity and respect for all.
The visual intervention and artistic performance were carried out as part of the campaign to stop violence against sex workers, supported by the Red Umbrella Fund and implemented in cooperation with TransFormA.
