A VAGINAL TUNNEL
|
A VAGINAL TUNNEL  Above is a photo of one of the highlights displayed at the recent Figment Arts Festival in the Australian city of Geelong. Yes, it is what you probably think it is. It’s a giant vagina for to crawl into. One parent, who took his four year old to this festival, said: “I’m no prude, I just think it was pretty inappropriate.... It looked fairly innocent from behind, it was only when you walked around the front that you realised the crawling tunnel was a huge vagina. It was clearly designed and purpose-built for .” The community arts festival organiser commented that “we had a really great weekend with the whole community”. However, opinion was divided as judged by these two comments posted on the Geelong Advertiser’s website: “What next? Childrens playgrounds with giant penises for to climb? Adults are so grubby....keep artistic shock value to adult venues I say” (Caroline of Victoria) “Most are born from the beautiful and sacred opening of the female. It is provoking to community when they are not in a home environment that openly and freely discusses our bodies and anatomy with our .... Your if he is the boy in the photo, does not look upset, perhaps curious?” (Simone Toussaint Darling of Warburton) I don’t see a major problem with the festival's vaginal tunnel. I only wished I had a vaginal tunnel to crawl into when I was a at a playground. My favourite things on a playground were the climbing frames, slides and swings. I didn’t really like roundabouts, seesaws and springers. And sandpits were simply boring. They didn't have bouncy castles in my day! Would you or would you allow your to crawl into this vaginal tunnel? What were your favourite things on a playground? Also at the festival were paintings of menstrual vaginas exhibited in a large red tepee – below is a montage of the Red Tent. This exhibition was coordinated by Michelle Buggy, an experiential and creative arts therapist. The tepee represents a woman’s womb “lined with a patchwork of women's artistic reflections of their relationship to their womb or menstrual cycle”. The Red Tent is available for hire. The Red Tent, in the words of Michelle Buggy, seeks to bring “women together to express the power of our creative bodies that will move women & girls to feel their connection to menstruation using art as a process” and to celebrate “Woman's relationship with their feminine selves from the perspective of their Womb, rather than an objectified sexual perspective.”  |

Hell no that looks pretty scary for any kids to be playing in.. A merry grow round near a park where I lived. hugs V Become a blog watcher sweet_vm

If I saw that in a park, I'd run like hell. When I was a child, they never had playgrounds like they have now!! I would say the "teeder-todder".

I don't think it's appropriate....children grow up too fast these days....let them keep their innocence as long as possible. As for the Red Tent....I reckon some women have too much time on their hands!!!  ~~Anais Nin~~

To kids is not a big deal, because they don't see things as vulgar or inappropriate. They just look at it as interesting or not. If adults don't react, the kids won't either. We are taught all this shit, including all our hang-ups. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

It's a Sheela Na Gig. There's a sign saying Sheila here. I can't be the only one who finds the idea of a Sheila in Australia to be hugely amusing! I'd let my children go to see it. It seems like a slightly silly and trivialising thing but there's an opportunity for a serious talk about human bodies, respect and all that stuff. The menstrual tent I'm less happy about. That seems divisive and, based on my experiences of similar installations, could quite possibly be alienating to children and especially men. I liked roundabouts! [image] A fertility symbol, usually related to children coming out of it rather than children entering it  It's also a pose adopted by quite a few women on ARF

Ummm, wow... Very thought-provoking and it looks like the kid is having a WTF? moment too. If I was a parent, I would probably avoid such a playground with my kids but lure my adult friends to come along out of curiosity. I love swings (still as an adult), I was terrified of roundabouts as a child but love them now, see-saws (teeter-totters for our American and Canadian friends) were hell for me as a child but I liked slippery slides except the one at the local shopping centre when I was a child, it was part of a sputnik rocket and the slide began on the second floor of this 3 level structure.

I totally agree with your logic.

Like you, the merry-go-round would sometimes make me sick because someone would always want to go faster. I still like swinging!

The menstrual art doesn't do much for me either. The 'pussy knitter' was also Australian. I presume this is a coincidence and not an Australian art trend.

I did warn you that it was weird!
