Her series of single-panel, graphic novel-style cartoons are currently on display at the Sex Workers’ Pop-Up, a New York exhibition that aims to reframe the dialogue and shatter the lingering, if cringingly outdated, stigma around sex work. The centerpiece of the Sex Workers’ Pop-Up is “InVocation,” a sculptural installation by Japanese American artist Midori, who is based in San Francisco. Other poignant displays include photographer Kisha Bari’s portrait series of Black sex workers, many of them transgender.
