Join artist Emil Cañita and MARS Gallery at Booth I06 to celebrate Cañita’s Sydney Contemporary debut and discuss their new body of work!
Cañita (he/she/they) is a trans Filipino sex worker and artist, boldly navigating the intersection of art, identity, and personal expression. Known for their evocative videos, captivating storytelling, and intimate Polaroid captures, Cañita’s raw, intimate works fearlessly explores the complexity of human connection, love, and desire.
Cañita’s new works for Sydney Contemporary will draw on the history of Australian sex workers, particularly NSW’s role in pioneering the decriminalisation of sex work, by showcasing the lived experience of workers who have worked in Sydney and been central to this body of work.
Location: MARS Gallery, Booth I06
