Harvey and Albert - "I lost my dog a few years ago and these were given to help me through it. I treasure them more than gold. Silly, I know, but I’m sentimental. My regulars knew I was struggling. They’re nice guys and way better than some I’ve known. I know that we get stigmatised and looked at like dirt by some people just for earning a living, but it’s small kindnesses like this that make it worthwhile."

Objects of Desire is a collective of sex workers, artists and anthropologists that challenges the erasure of sex worker voices, and creates space for sex worker to tell their stories how they want them to be told. Their methodology is simple: they collect and preserve stories of sex work through physical objects. See it for yourself: Objects of Desire.
