Fotoausstellung "Vulvodynie - Schmerz der Weiblichkeit"

In the organizer's words:

Photo exhibition "Vulvodynia"

I cordially invite you to the vernissage of my photo exhibition
"Vulvodynia" on Friday, August 23, 2025 from 7 pm
in the ANNELISE gallery in Dortmund.

The exhibition is dedicated to the chronic, little-known disease vulvodynia and poses the question: How can pain be made visible?

Vulvodynia refers to vulvar pain without an identifiable cause that lasts longer than three months - often perceived as burning, stinging or dryness.

Portraits and interviews were created in close collaboration with sufferers and doctors - complemented by images that tell of isolation, vulnerability and pain. The photographic works are accompanied by a photo book, which was developed together with Leonie Kaulfuß, as well as a curatorial exhibition concept, which was created in collaboration with Franci Schönhofer.

The opening will be accompanied musically by the DJ club Ouroboros.

📍 Location: ANNELISE, Gneisenaustraße 30, 44147 Dortmund
📅 Date: Friday, 23.08.2025
🕖 S tart: 19.00 hrs

I would be delighted if you could come, take your time, resonate with the images and voices - and we can open the evening together.
