Un_erhört. Wie sich die Vulva heute Gehör verschafft!

In the organizer's words:

Although the vulva as an external part of the female* sex has gained more and more presence and visibility on a motivational and linguistic level over the last ten years and has even found its way into pop culture as a T-shirt motif and in music videos, it is still barely present in public perception and in art. The exhibition Un_erhört. Wie sich die Vulva heute Gehör verschafft! therefore brings together contemporary artists, mainly from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, who have dedicated themselves to the positive re-appropriation and visualization of the vulva. Through thematic complexes such as empowerment, sexuality, menstruation, cultural history and identity, the artistic positions are part of the centuries-long process of revaluing and reappropriating the vulva, with the aim of reducing shame and taboo and creating empowering moments. The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated booklet.

With works by Zara Alexandrova, Amae Collective, Pascale Eiberle, Christiane Fichtner, Sophie Fladt, Bob Jones, Petra Mattheis, Zoë Claire Miller, Rosa Roedelius, Helga Schager, Marina Stiegler, Sophia Süßmilch, Myriam Thyes, Michelle Verhoeks, Betty Wimmer.
