February 2026: Cosey Fanni Tutti & Sex Workers Against ICE with SWOP MPLS

Welcome to the February episode of Radio AvA! In Honour of St Valentines Day we talked about sex worker art and anti-ICE action in Minneapolis!

Longstanding regular Jamie returned to the radio for a third time (over the span of 10 years, which is so impressive) to talk about all thing Cosey Fanni Tutti. We talked about her career making music, as an artist, glamour model and performer, her unique approach to art and her recent exhibition in Hull INCOGNITO.

(46:50) We were also joined (remotely) by Andi Snow from SWOP Minneapolis to talk about the city’s resistance to ICE and how sex workers are specifically being targeted. It’s a super inspiring conversation that draws on the importance of mutual aid, hyper local community solidarity and the power of grassroots activism.

To finish off the episode Lolly had a small tale of a regular, you may recognise this character if you’ve been listening to the radio for a while.
