"Whore College" is a series of educational and entertaining evenings by long time sex worker, activist, artist and Dean of Whores, Carol Leigh AKA Scarlot Harlot. This series includes multi-media song, dance, schtick and Power Point presentations in collaboration with local artists and educators. Attend all four evenings and earn your continuing education degree in "Sex Worker Arts and Politics."

On the occasion of the passage of the first federal (intrastate) anti-prostitution legislation (HR 972, see http://www.bayswan.org/end_demand/) Whore College launches an educational program presenting performances and videos documenting sex worker art and resistance from around the globe, plus discussions about new repressive laws and policies brought to us by the Bush administration and our local moralists. Each evening will be introduced by a guest star and focus on a theme of sex worker arts and politics.
