Vulvas In/Formation: Emma Rees, Elliott Watson, Sarah Creed

  • The Attic at The Railway Inn 3 Saint Paul's Hill Winchester, England, SO22 5AE United Kingdom (map)

A panel of leading voices in gender politics will explore myths and misinformation, truths and taboos, personal and political, the shame and secrecy surrounding women’s bodies, and why this is still important to discuss in 2019.

Emma Rees is Professor of Literature and Gender Studies at the University of Chester, and Director of the Institute of Gender Studies. She has written extensively about gender and representation, notably in her book 'The Vagina: A Literary and Cultural History'.

Elliott Watson is the director and producer of several award winning documentaries. He focusses his attention on gender as a construct in modern times. His latest film, ‘Vulva’, explores the paradigms of beauty in the western world.

Unfortunately, for personal reasons, Lynn Enright is no longer able to take part in the Vulvas In/Formation panel. She has very kindly donated two copies of her awesome book Vagina: A Re-Education as raffle prizes, and is very sorry to let you down.

I am very happy to announce that Sarah Creed from The Vagina Museum, will be speaking in her place! It's an absolute pleasure to have curator and exhibitions manager Sarah come and speak to us in Winchester before the museum open its doors on 16th November.

1 hour talk and film screening, followed by opportunity for audience discussion.
