Happy Uterus Friday!

“(So Many White Men’s) Eyes on My Uterus”

This time of year, the days have descriptors: Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday. I’m calling today “Uterus Friday.” To celebrate, my husband and I are traveling to Wilmington, NC and attending the exhibit opening party for Illumination 2022 at Cameron Art Museum. My barbed wire uterus is one of 36 lighted sculptures in this show and I am proud that she will be there, stirring up good trouble. I’m fairly certain she will be one of the less “pretty” lanterns in the museum but hopefully she will inspire some people to consider the question, “what are those eyeballs doing on that uterus— clearly they don’t belong there!” If you have a uterus, it should be your decision how to celebrate Uterus Friday— your body, your choice!
