VAGINA FESTIVAL 2007 RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THE PERVASIVENESS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN At least one out of every three women around the world has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Violence against women and girls is a universal problem of epidemic proportions. Can we do something about this? A group of artists challenges you: to go inside the statistics, consider what so many women endure daily, and to envision a world of peace and respect—and everyone's capacity to participate in making that vision a reality. At Vagina Festival 2007, we proudly and provocatively presented women's stories through visual art, music, dance and performance art, speakers—and, two performances of The Vagina Monologues. THANK YOU ALL who attended Vagina Festival 2007 at Agni Gallery, where women's stories were told, and where we celebrated women, peace, creativity and collaboration. A fun, moving, thought-provoking experience: Vagina Festival. Our first! Vagina Festival was honored to be part of V-Day's 2007 Worldwide Campaign.

VAGINA FESTIVAL 2007 took place on FEB. 16-18 at AGNI GALLERY, NYC Proceeds were donated to V-Day. We were honored to present two performances of The Vagina Monologues. About Vagina Festival 2007 > View the 2007 Program > VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN > At least one out of every three women around the world has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime — with the abuser usually someone known to her. Violence against women and girls is a universal problem of epidemic proportions.  V-Day's 2007 theme Reclaiming Peace seeks to make the connection between the worldwide anti-violence work of V-Day activists with our collective desire for peace and an end to armed conflicts. "We are saying that if a government supports the use of force, weapons, violence as a method of control and dominance, this models and gives license to the same kind of behavior at home," stated V-Day Founder/Artistic Director Eve Ensler. AGNI GALLERY, established by artist, Agni Zotis in 2004, is a space for the organic expression of intellectual process, of unrestricted questioning and conversation, and the intimacy of raw emotion. It maintains a standard of high quality work that reflects the environment and the needs of the community. ABOUT Vagina Festival is a collaboration among artists and the community. The 2007 festival was our first. We were proud to be part of V-Day's 2007 Worldwide Campaign. |
