Florence Schechter, creator of the world’s first Vagina Museum, is here to take you on a journey towards celebrating, understanding, and appreciating your (or someone else’s) vagina. And once you set off, you’ll never look back.
She wants you to be ready to talk about the vulva shame-free, to discover art that admires the vulva and learn how our ancestors believed in the power of periods. You will bust myths, feel confident in your body and find your Big V Energy!
Because, if the word is taboo, how can you talk about your vagina’s health? If you can’t label the vulva, how can you fight for its rights? And if you don’t know how extraordinary the vulva and vagina really are, you will never realise the incredible power between women’s legs.
Florence Schechter is the director and founder of the Vagina Museum. Her background is in science communication and she has a degree in Biochemistry from the University of Birmingham. Since the Vagina Museum opened in October 2019, it has welcomed over 100,000 people in just six months. She has spoken about Vs everywhere from the British Library, Science Museum, Royal Institution, The Courtauld Institute of Art and Tate Modern. She also sits on the Trajectory, Ideas and Ambassadors Board of Cheltenham Science Festival. She came highly commended in the Women of the Future Awards 2017 in the arts and culture category for her work in the museum sector and won a Sexual Freedom Award in 2019.
Her book V: An empowering celebration of the vulva and vagina will be available on the day.
