I Won’t Be Pretty For You: Vulvas Queered will have its closing event on Saturday, January 31, 4-6 PM. Artist Juno Rosenhaus will give a short talk with Q&A at 5 PM.

I Won’t Be Pretty For You: Vulvas Queered is a gender-inclusive, collaborative community photo project based on each participant’s reimagining of their v***a. Participants include trans women, trans men, cis women, and gender non-confirming qu**rs photographed in the Bay Area, Berlin, Chicago, New Orleans, and Philadelphia.

Vulvas Queered is designed to facilitate and provoke conversation and story sharing about the trauma, delight, power, and pure radicalness of queered v***as, with the goal of deepening the conversation beyond ge****ls equal gender or s*x, and contest the assumption that the v***a is a body part that should look the same on every body.
