Artists and sex workers Julia Rot and Martina Šikulová break stereotypical ideas about people in the sex business through their audiovisual work, which bridges art and sex work. Julia is directing the documentary Team Slut Forever that aims to highlight the positive aspects of sex work, while Martina produces ethical porn with her partner Matěj Damek within the platform Hrcprc studio.
Raut is an intersectional discussion podcast about contemporary art and culture produced by the tranzit.cz publishing house and initiative for contemporary art in collaboration with the online daily Alarm. The new series is moderated by Ester Grohová and Nela Pietrová and continues the debate on contemporary art from perspectives that might at first glance be unrelated to art or are on the margins of social discussion. The first series was released in 2021/22 and was moderated by Agáta Hrnčířová and Max Dvořák.
