Britain s International Slavery Museum has pulled an exhibition on human trafficking in the porn industry after a backlash over the dehumanizing artwork and the involvement of a US lobby group criticized for its hardline stance on the sex industry.
The museum in Liverpool, northern England, came under fire this week for partnering with Exodus Cry, which seeks to stop pornography and commercial sex work and has been denounced by activists for stigmatizing sex workers and trafficking victims.
A tweet by the museum announcing the exhibition on Wednesday attracted dozens of critical responses, including from anti-trafficking campaigners and academics who said the artworks were trauma porn and damaging, sensationalist and dehumanizing .
