Hustler (noun) - an aggressively enterprising person; a go getter; a sex worker.
The Hustlers' Art Collective (THAC) is an art collective for sex workers and allies. We've come together to build relationships and community between sex workers and non-sex workers through the creation of art.
Sex work is a highly stigmatized profession. This stigma can be isolating as it fosters shame and can cause sex workers to feel unwelcome in their communities.
THAC aims to combat this stigma and isolation by creating safe spaces for sex workers to socialize, and a platform to advocate for change.
The red umbrella is the symbol of the sex workers' rights movement, introduced in 2005 by the International Committee on the Rights of Sex Workers in Europe (ICRSE). [Source: swannet.org]
