A gorgeous and radical book celebrating vulvas in all their diversity, featuring over 600 illustrations based on real bodies.
All vulvas are unique – just like our hands, noses and eyes are. However there’s usually just one kind of vulva shape being displayed in popular media. Whether it is in magazines, mainstream porn, or even biology books, all over the world we are constantly confronted with a distorted image of the ‘perfect’ vulva, presented as ‘normal’. This has led many of us (who look different from this ‘perfect’ vulva) to believe that we don’t fit the ‘normal’ image.
The Vulva Gallery is a project that aims to raise awareness around body diversity, to inspire and empower individuals by sharing personal stories, and to provide information on anatomy and sexual health.
By illustrating a wide range of vulvas in all shapes and colours – and opening up conversation about diversity, body neutrality, and vulva-related topics – The Vulva Gallery shows that natural variety is a beautiful thing, and that the natural human body is something to appreciate instead of feeling ashamed about.
