International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers Event Schedule
Posted by admin on November 8th, 2009December 17, 2009:
5:00 – 6:00 p.m. El Presidio Park, 160 West Alameda Street, Tucson, AZ. Performance art/art installation with the theme, “No Human Involved.” The central image will be a physical representation of the Perryville Prison which will honor the Marcia Powell tragedy, a performance piece/die-in and live music.
6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. El Tiradito Shrine, 354 South Main Avenue, Tucson, AZ. IDEVASW Remembrance Memorial. El Tiradito Shrine is a national historic site tucked away in the old downtown barrio (neighborhood). Often called the “wishing shrine,” the story associated with it involves broken hearts, crimes of passion, and a lover’s triangle. It’s the only shrine in the United States dedicated to a “sinner” and sex workers in Tucson have long held this place dear to our hearts. We’ll have some music, poetry, a remembrance circle where we light candles on the big 100-candle shrine as we speak the names of fallen sex workers, and a few other things to make this event special and somber. Refreshments.
