Vaginal Davis (born in Los Angeles, California) is an American performing artist, painter, independent curator, composer, filmmaker and writer.[1] Born intersex and raised in South Central, Los Angeles, Davis gained notoriety in New York during the 1980s,[2] where she inspired the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn's prevalent drag scene as a genderqueer artist.[3][4] She currently resides in Berlin, Germany.[5]
I'm intersex, born with both female and male genitalia, so I'm a strange hybrid creature. I'm also part German, quarter Jewish, my father was born in Mexico and my mother is French Creole.
