“Um, my vagina doesn’t look like this. One vulva lip is longer than the other.” This blunt observation comes from 17-year-old Aimee Gibbs in the Netflix series “Sex Education” as she holds a teaching model of a vulva in her hands. And this is exactly what Amorelie wants to shed light on with the exhibition Vulva – Diversity through art. Together with sexological bodyworker Iva Samina and curator Julia Meyer-Brehm, it provokes an important discussion because, with four billion women worldwide, diverse representation of vulvas is long overdue. The exhibition is a joint project by Amorelie and Iva Samina. The exhibition is three days long and includes photographs by four artists Jennifer Adler, Ute Klein, Lorelai Wimmer and Jaqueline Louan, which were taken during Iva’s “Vulva Watching” workshops. But it’s not only photographs that await you. There are also vulva sculptures by Vulvarium on display. The exhibition is both artistically inspiring and educational! Amorelie and Iva have also come up with something for your ears. At an audio station, you can be a fly on the wall at one of Iva’s past workshops and listen in, immersing yourself in the atmosphere. In addition, various vulva-related workshops will take place at three other locations. These have been organized by Iva, together with the coaches, and offer you the opportunity to brush up on your anatomical know-how, for example, what the term “body sex” means. There will also be plenty of sensual workshops on offer, including the “Yoni, Cacao and Clay Workshop”. So, if you’re curious, drop by the exhibition and embark on an enlightening journey that delves beyond the surface (of our clothes)!
