vagina vérité® is participating in Vulvagraphics, a New View Campaign event celebrating the diversity of the female vulva though classic and contemporary arts and crafts at The Change You Want to See Gallery in Brooklyn.
Last night's reception was packed, and bubbling over with lively conversation, crayon-activism and art appreciation. It was an all-out celebration of genital diversity—of our uniqueness and shared experiences!
The New View Campaign honored Betty Dodson, foremother to the art and the activism of Vulvagraphics. We were honored to have her there with us!
Hope to see you at Vulvagraphics later today!
There will be photographs, paintings, puppets, knitted and fabricated vulvas, art and sex ed videos, and a Sunday brunch salon on "Critical issues in genital activism." There will also be various kinds of activism challenging female genital cosmetic surgery.
WHERE: The Change You Want To See is located at 84 Havemeyer Street, Storefront; Brooklyn, NY 11211.
WHEN: Saturday October 24th: 6-9pm (opening reception & exhibition);
Sunday October 25th: 12-6pm (exhibition); 1-3pm (brunch salon).
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
