Return of The Penis Gallery!
Masculinity
Yes, the hit event is returning to this year's Book of Man festival and this time there's going to be some vaginas too...
The Penis Gallery – The Book of Man Festival 2020
The Penis Gallery returns! Part of The Book of Man Festival 2020, the Penis Gallery is an exhibition of real penises plus a panel talk featuring The Vagina Museum's Florence Schechter, locker room expert Dr Chris Morriss-Roberts and artist Jamie McCartney. 10th March at The Book Club, Shoreditch.
www.eventbrite.co.ukThe Book of Man Festival 2020 is happening in March and this year The Penis Gallery is returning after a highly successful night last year which showed penises in their (strictly flaccid) glory and featured a panel discussion about taboos and anxieties around the little (or big) fellas.
This year we’re upping the ante as The Penis Gallery meets The Vagina Museum on 10th March at The Book Club. In what amounts to a formalised game of ‘Doctors and Nurses’ the vibe is very much “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.” In an artistic manner of course. Yes we’ll have Florence Schechter, Director of The Vagina Museum, telling us all about the ground-breaking new space in Camden and talking about the misinformation and outright lies about the vagina.
Just what was @floschechter thinking when she decided to make the world's first vagina museum? How'd she manage it? What weirdness occurred along the way? Get it straight from Florence's own lips at tonight's inaugural Vagina Museum Director Talk! https://t.co/fKL1zkh0LU pic.twitter.com/Ow7VsYKliG

We’ll also be talking to Dr Chris Morriss-Roberts, who has studied and written about the role of penises in the locker room, and male body perceptions in general.
Still one of my favourite bits of writing! I did myself proud, I did sportsmen proud, I did the penis proud. #cockocracy #lockeroom https://t.co/QyuQNqfPOa

While we also have a further coup in welcoming artist Jamie McCartney, the man behind The Great Wall of Vagina, as well as his Penis Flags, is a man very much au fait with all genitalia matters.

We are also welcoming the Josh and Greg from exciting new sex toy brand Kandid who will be telling us about what’s happening on the frontline of pleasure and understanding.
Be you. Be better. Be Kandid.

Oh, and of course…
Last year we called out for images of penises to display at a Penis Gallery and boy did that get out of hand. They landed in our inbox by the hundreds and gave us a selection headache which was traumatic on so many levels. This year, we haven’t learnt a thing, and we’re asking you to send in photos of your penises again! The rules are the same:
- strictly over-18s
- flaccid penises only, no erections, it’s not about showing off
- black and white photos – keep it arty!
- all sizes and shapes welcome
Send your photos to: marian@thebookofman.com
Oh and buy tickets to the event here:
