Video
Vaginal Davis is an American artist, performer, and cultural provocateur working across video, installation, and live performance. Active since the 1980s in Los Angeles underground scenes, Davis engages with queer aesthetics, racial politics, and the subversive potential of camp and drag. Her practice dismantles conventional boundaries between high art and street culture, often employing humor and excess as tools for cultural critique.
