SEX WORKS

The work SEX WORKS by LINA DOKUZOVIĆ explores and exposes the situation in which one is prevented from working legally as a non-EU/EEA member. At the same time, it reveals a narrow legal loophole in which it is possible to work legally in EU. It also explores how migrant, gender, and class issues often intersect and can emerge from the same source of sovereignty and discursive production.
