SUMMARY:SICK: A Year In Our Bodies - Fundraiser Showcase
LOCATION:Dante's
DESCRIPTION:SICK: A Year In Our Bodies - Fundraiser Showcase at Dante's in 
 Portland\, OR on Sunday\, November 22\, 2026.\n\nCategory: Undefined.\n\nT
 ickets from $21 to $263.\n\nSICK: A Year in Our Bodies Our bodies may be s
 ick. Our lives are not over. Our stories deserve to be seen. SICK: A Year 
 in Our Bodies is a fundraising showcase centering Portland-area sex worker
 s living with chronic illness and disability---and the ways we have learne
 d to survive in a world that wasn't built in our favor. For many disabled 
 and chronically ill people\, traditional employment demands something our 
 bodies cannot always promise: the same energy every day\, rigid schedules\
 , eight-hour shifts\, limited rest\, and the ability to simply push throug
 h. Sex work can offer something different---the ability to build work arou
 nd our bodies instead of constantly punishing our bodies to fit the expect
 ations of work. We are dancers. Performers. Artists. Providers. Mothers. H
 ustlers. Creators. Disabled people. Chronically ill people. Survivors. Thi
 s night brings our community together for performances\, vendors\, enterta
 inment\, and unapologetic visibility while raising funds for Rose and Pist
 olita to create SICK: A Year in Our Bodies---a calendar featuring 12 iconi
 c Portland-area sex workers living with chronic conditions. Each month wil
 l put a real body and a real story behind invisible illness. Not as traged
 y. Not as inspiration porn. Not as bodies to pity. As bodies that adapted.
  Bodies that worked. Bodies that survived. Bodies that are still fucking h
 ere. This project is about what survival actually looks like when your bod
 y refuses to cooperate with the rules of an able-bodied world. It is about
  the ingenuity of people who found another way when conventional systems f
 ailed them. And it is about refusing the shame that so often surrounds bot
 h disability and sex work. We are taking the bodies society tells us to hi
 de---and putting them on the fucking calendar. Twelve workers. Twelve bodi
 es. Twelve stories of adaptation\, resistance\, sexuality\, illness\, labo
 r and survival. Come celebrate the people who learned how to make a living
  on their own terms. Come support chronically ill and disabled sex workers
  telling their own stories. Sick people are strong people. Disabled bodies
  are worthy bodies. Sex workers are workers. And survival deserves to be s
 een. SICK: A Year in Our Bodies November 21 • 8 PM • Dante's • 21+\n
