Another Blow to the Patriarchy
Giant 12-metre screaming vagina installed in women’s prison: “By creating this vagina which you walk into, it contains you as the viewer, but also screams and laughs, almost like a battle cry which revolts against the prison.” -- via davidthompson:Posted by gerardvanderleun at August 21, 2013 9:22 AM.

Your Say
Comment by "sackcloth & ashes":
About a year ago the South African police gunned down 34 striking miners at the Marikana mine, committing the worst massacre the country had experienced since the end of apartheid. The contact wounds and the postures of many of the dead strongly suggest that they were summarily executed, and that there was no conceivable justification for the police officers to shoot them.
And the response of this 'artist' is to create a giant cunt.
I am stunned. I am really stunned.
The left used to have men and women, some of them scribblers and painters, whose commitment to 'empowerment' meant making a positive and courageous effort to fight for the oppressed against their oppressors, even if it meant taking a certain risk with life and liberty. South Africa had a good number of these individuals - white and black - during the apartheid era. Granted, more than a few of them were adherents of a political philosophy that was in practice more cruel and unequal than the system they were fighting, but whilst you could question their politics, you could not question their guts.
Nowadays, however, Chhiba and her ilk find that meaningless displays like this constitute 'courageous activism'. So she adorns a disused jail with a super-vagina whilst survivors from Marikana are languishing in a real one. How sickening.

That screaming oversize vaginal passage installed in the bowels of some African prison is far less embarrassingly *nuts* than the afflicted Weiners sliding into power in the biggest city of a country whose people thrust a giant gushing douche into the White House...Twice.

Will there be a movie? I say that facetiously, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
