As part of the upcoming Greater New York survey, Flushing, Queens-based collective Red Canary Song presents their Homeroom project Touch the Heart. The grassroots collective is led by migrant massage and sex workers across the Asian diaspora, and formed in 2017 in response to the death of Yang Song, a migrant Chinese massage worker killed during a police raid in Queens. Advocating for essential safety measures, they protested against police violence and argued for the decriminalization of unlicensed massage labor and sex work. Since then, Red Canary Song has expanded into a mutual aid network that foregrounds the experiences of directly impacted workers, providing groceries, cash assistance, translation services, and connection to legal support and person-first health care. Amid ongoing raids and mass deportations, Red Canary Song continues to organize across shifting conditions of visibility.

Tiffany Sia presents “They Prefer Us When We’re Dead,” a talk drawn from a forthcoming essay that frames law as the apparatus of video as form. Sia insists that censorship, copyright, contract law, and national security and anti-terrorism laws constitute video’s most consequential material substrate, shaping how images circulate, survive, and become acquired. Moving through her own overlapping positions as author, contractor, seller, rights holder, and public figure, Sia traces more broadly how different applications of the law structure risk and value unevenly across film and art contexts, and across jurisdictions. Sia will be joined in conversation by her lawyer, Sekou Campbell.
