“If You Start Looking, You Can See Vulvas Everywhere”

What is there in common between an open pink beauty bag, half a melon, or a a hatch covered in moss? Dasha Buben, a feminist, artist, and photographer from Gomel, is certain that all those objects can help draw attention to women’s issues. Since spring 2016, Dasha has been capturing and posting everyday objects on her Instagram that look like vulvas with the hashtag #everydayifindnewpussy. She talked to Bird in Flight about why she looks for similarity to body parts in hollows and fruits and how it helps advocate for women’s rights.
