Move over "Vagina Monologues," it’s time for "The Exquisite Uterus Project."
The fourth showing of this project opens on Friday, Sept, 20 from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Union Art Gallery, 2200 E. Kenwood Blvd.
The event will feature more than 200 uteri art pieces curated by Wisconsin feminist artists Alison Gates and Helen Klebesadel. Theme of the artwork – which are a mix of sculpture, mixed media and print – range from reproductive freedoms to personal stories.
The Raging Grannies will perform at 6 p.m. and there will be a 15-minute poetry reading from three local poets at 7 p.m.
The Raging Grannies are a group of social activists – all are women old enough to be grandmothers – who sing songs at protests and dress up in clothes that mock older-women stereotypes.
This event appeals to my quirky sensibilities. I wonder if my school-age sons would find this entertaining?
Molly Snyder started writing and publishing her work at the age 10, when her community newspaper printed her poem, "The Unicorn.” Since then, she's expanded beyond the subject of mythical creatures and written in many different mediums but, nearest and dearest to her heart, thousands of articles for OnMilwaukee.
Molly is a regular contributor to FOX6 News and numerous radio stations as well as the co-host of "Dandelions: A Podcast For Women.” She's received five Milwaukee Press Club Awards, served as the Pfister Narrator and is the Wisconsin State Fair’s Celebrity Cream Puff Eating Champion of 2019.
