Vaginal Davis's First Major U.S. Exhibition at MoMA PS1 Showcases Five Decades of Work

Vaginal Davis, an intersex, mixed-race artist from South Central Los Angeles, is presenting her first major institutional exhibition in the United States at MoMA PS1 in New York. Titled 'Vaginal Davis: Magnificent Product,' the show spans three floors and features her work across video, performance, music, painting, sculpture, and archival materials. The exhibition highlights her five-decade career, her role in the queercore punk movement, and her DIY approach influenced by her working-class background. It includes collaborations with other artists, reproductions of her early gallery and bedroom installations, and displays of her influential zines. The presentation underscores Davis's impact as a queer icon and her expansive, community-driven artistic practice.
