Politics of Vulvic Symbology/TRAVELLING VULVA MUSEUM COMING TO TOWN!

The Travelling VULVA MUSEUM Exhibit and Speaker Series is coming to town!
* Learn about Vulvas in Art, History, and Mythology
* Explore Political and Religious Vulvic Relations
* View a rich collection of vulvic items including 3 different designers' vulvic prayer flags, vulvic jewelry, vulvic postcards, zines, pillows, religious/ritual items, and more!

The Vulva Museum (http://www.vulvamuseum.org) is going on the road...Enjoy an evening of historic, cross-cultural vulvic imagery, in art, and cultural objects, on display, coupled with our speaker presentation, "The Politics of Vulvic Symbology." Historically, Vulvas have been honored as powerful female symbols of pleasure, and as portals of life. Art reflects this respect throughout history. Yet in recent times (in the U.S., at least), male-created porn and menstrual product ads are often the only vulvic material people experience. This exhibit and speaker series explores contemporary vulvic artists such as Judy Chicago and Georgia O’Keeffe, as well as past civilizations’ vulvic art and ritual objects. This workshop may just change your relationship with women’s genitals forevermore!
