From cam girls to performance artists: an interview about sex work in the Digital Age with #rp18 speaker Lena Chen

Lena Chen is not only a feminist  performance artist, writer and outspoken queer activist, but also a self-proclaimed walking case study on bad publicity, which has not kept re:publica from choosing her to be one of this year’s speakers for the Fe:male Digital Footprint Topic.

We were lucky enough to meet the Harvard graduate who is currently splitting her time between Los Angeles and Berlin before the convention to talk about how the internet has changed the working conditions for sex workers and give us a little glimpse into what we can expect from her talk Live Nude Girls: Feminist Art & Sex Work in the Digital Age.
