Unheard Voices of the Red Light District is an installation that brings us deeper into the lives of Singaporean sex workers. Volunteers from Project X interviewed nine women and together with artists Dixie Chan and Felicia Low, have created a multi-media installation that hopes to raise awareness on issues faced by Singaporean sex workers in Singapore. Photo credit: FRONTS by Dixie Chan.
