WELCOME TO THE BERLIN STRIPPERS COLLECTIVE. WE ARE A CREATIVE AND POLITICAL COLLECTIVE THAT HAS GROWN OUT OF THE SOLIDARITY AND SISTER*HOOD – AND THE DIFFICULTIES – WE HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE INDUSTRY. WE WANT TO DESTIGMATISE STRIPPING AND SEX WORK AS A WHOLE, TO START A DIALOGUE ABOUT SEX WORK IN WHICH PEOPLE CAN LEARN ABOUT OUR WORK AND LIVES, AND, LAST BUT NOT LEAST, TO SHARE THE ART OF STRIPPING.

THE SEX INDUSTRY PRESENTS MANY PROBLEMS. OUR COLLECTIVE WANTS TO PROVIDE A SPACE WHERE STRIPPERS’ VOICES CAN BE HEARD AND WHERE WE CAN SHARE OUR LOVE FOR SENSUAL MOVEMENT WITHOUT BEING AT THE MERCY OF STRIP CLUB RULES AND DISCRIMINATION. WE ARE ADVOCATES OF THE DECRIMINALIZATION OF SEX WORK GLOBALLY. WE CONDEMN GENDER AND RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN THE SEX INDUSTRY. WE WANT TO CHALLENGE OPPRESSIVE STRUCTURES.

WE, THE BSC, BRING YOU ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE, POLE SKILLS, AND SHEER SEXUALITY ON A SILVER PLATTER, WITH A POLITICAL EDGE. FORGET EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT STRIPPERS.
