ABOUT VAGINA FESTIVAL Vagina Festival is a visual and performance art experience, organized by artist-activist, Alexandra Jacoby. It is an outgrowth of her project, vagina vérité®—an unabashed exploration of the plain, ordinary, mysterious matter of vaginas. Vagina Festival is produced entirely by volunteers. The 2008 Vagina Festival took place at Sage Theater in Times Square, Manhattan on Oct. 24-26, 2008. We expanded since our first festival, to fill a 99-seat theater space, presenting a rich and varied array of visual and performance artists' work about women's experiences, our challenges, our celebrations. Several hundred women and men attended over the weekend. It was indeed a fun, moving, thought-provoking experience! The stage seemed to reach through the audience and into our comfy lobby/mingling space, where it was met by the gallery's continual buzz of conversation and reflection. This warm, dynamic space was created by our tireless, generous v-staff. Each member of our team poured his/her time, energy and spirit into our collective pot and served up a weekend of words, images, music, movement, quiet, stories, questions, and more—together, we provoked, inspired, comforted: we engaged our community. Vagina Festival 2007 For the 2007 Vagina Festival, our first, we were a part of V-Day's Worldwide Campaign to end violence against women and girls. Visual artists, performance artists, musicians, and speakers came together at Agni Gallery on the lower east side to raise awareness about the pervasiveness of violence against women, and raised money for V-Day. • Vagina Festival 2007 Press Release - Jan. 24, 2007 • Vagina Festival 2007 in The Village Voice Voice Choices
