“I Won't Be Pretty For You: Vulvas Queered”

October 18-19

In conjunction with Philadelphia Open Studios Tour, during Dyke+ ArtHaus events and by appointment.

Dyke+ ArtHaus, 709 N 40th Street, Philadelphia

A gender-inclusive, collaborative community project based on each participant’s reimagining of their vulva. Participants include trans women, trans men, cis women, and gender non-conforming queers photographed in the Bay Area, Berlin, Chicago, New Orleans, and Philadelphia. The project defines VULVA as “external genitalia of many females, males, and intersex people.”

Vulvas Queered is designed to facilitate and provoke conversation and story sharing about the trauma, delight, power, and pure radicalness of queered vulvas, with the goal of deepening the conversation beyond genitals equal gender or sex, and contest the assumption that the vulva is a body part that should look the same on every body.
