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

On view through December during Dyke+ ArtHaus events or by appointment (email dykearthaus@gmail.com).

Dyke+ ArtHaus, 709 N 40th Street, Philadelphia

A gender-inclusive, collaborative community photo 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.
