Abstract:
Sex work is an important livelihood activity for many people in the world yet the bulk of literature on this subject is often the result of research that is under-taken on rather than with individuals who are engaged in the sex industry. In this chapter, we present and discuss three linked research projects conducted in partnership with Sisonke: the national sex worker movement in South Africa. These projects (initiated in 2010) have experimented with different ways of co-producing and sharing knowledge through participatory arts-based and narrative methods. We describe the evolution of these projects, and discuss how the involved research methods developed, including public engagement approaches that offer both opportunities and risks to participants and knowledge production processes.
