I AM A VULVA is an ongoing multidisciplinary project by Effie Emmanouilidi.

The artist wrote the VULVA MANIFESTO and the work she produces is based on it and highlights the power of inclusive visibility, a power overshadowed and silenced in heteronormative conditions.

The project brings attention to the way vulvas are systematically underrepresented in both art and culture, paralleling efforts by feminist movements and collectives that have worked to confront and disrupt societal norms. I AM A VULVA aims to expose the effects of heteronormative structures that limit self-expression and perpetuate stigma, highlighting how they marginalize diverse sexualities, genders, and identities.

I AM A VULVA: The film

I AM SOFT, I AM STRONG. WHAT AM I?

Growing up, all of us have seen funny sketches of male genitals in schools, on the streets, everywhere.

However, female genitals remain a taboo subject. This project aims to challenge that by presenting the body in a way that is neither sexualized nor objectified.

It also draws connections between these forms and the natural world, with the ceramic pieces often resembling flowers, shells, or other organic shapes.
