Alexandra Jacoby Visual Artist Exhibiting: vagina vérité®—an unabashed exploration of the plain, ordinary, mysterious matter of vaginas Medium: digital photographs Dimensions: 93" x 59" On participating in Vagina Festival 2008: The conversations that emerged from working on, and exhibiting, the vagina vérité® v-portraits* gave birth to Vagina Festival. I'm honored to be part of this stimulating, inter-disciplinary, provocative, fun, meaningful, conversation-generating collaboration, Vagina Festival. Artist Statement: Alexandra Jacoby is a self-taught painter and photographer. vagina vérité® has been her primary artistic and personal occupation since the project was conceived in a conversation with a friend in 2000 about whether they liked the way their vaginas looked. She's up to 75 v-portraits for the book. Jacoby is not a vagina expert. Through her photographs and companion web site of vagina explorations, she seeks to provide a collective mirror, to spark conversation about self-image, intimacy, sexuality and identity—to bring into focus the value of our individual experiences and expression. Contact: alexandra@vaginafestival.com Websites: www.vaginaverite.com, www.leavethecastle.com. * The v-portraits are in fact vulva portraits. The project began when a friend of mine asked me whether I liked the way my vagina looked. vagina vérité® is my response to my friend [who thought there was something wrong with hers].   SPONSOR Vagina Festival is presented entirely by volunteers. We keep expenses low and produce the event with the help of generous sponsors. Please join us in creating a space for conversation.
