Imagine an art installation composed of 400 casts of vulvas -a sea of white plaster labia that stretches across an entire wall. An installation that is provocative, and beautiful, but also celebrates genital diversity and is a powerful antidote to genital anxiety. Meet Jamie McCartney, the artist behind The Great Wall of Vulva! 



We discuss:


  • How Jaimie came to start casting vulvas

  • The insecurity both men and women have regarding the appearance of their genitals

  • How Jaimie recruited models for the project

  • What motivated most models to have their vulva casted

  • The casting process

  • The educational impact of the work

  • The impact of the work on individual models 

  • The societal impact of the wall

  • Censorship and negative reactions

  • Casting your own vulva

  • How you can have a piece of the wall 

  • Next projects
