Vulva Throne #1

The Vulva Throne #1 created by international artist Alisa Sokolov is a powerful art object that boldly confronts issues of gender chauvinism and stands for female empowerment.

The concept for this artwork originated from Sokolov's own experiences with gender chauvinism during her stay in Israel during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The idea came during a creative brainstorming session at the camp for the Midburn Festival, where Sokolov drew inspiration from the works of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, specifically Accumulation I (1961) and Accumulation II (1962).

By merging the symbols of femininity and power in one artwork, Sokolov challenges the status quo and encourages public discourse on important topics such as tabooed sexuality, diversity, and gender-based oppression.

Through the Vulva Throne #1 Sokolov continues Kusama's legacy of fighting against gender chauvinism and the role of women in the modern world, creating a powerful statement that speaks to three generations of female artists. This art object invites its audience to explore and celebrate the beauty of femininity and diversity while reflecting on the ongoing struggles of women in society today.
