• Kembra Pfahler

  In 1992, she had her vulva sewn shut in Richard Kern’s Sewing Circle, a feat she performed again, twice, most recently for Penthouse
  in 1998. Elsewhere, Pfahler has exhibited paintings, portraits and curated exhibitions under her concept of ‘availabilism’, the practice
  of making art with whatever is close to hand. In 2014, she also co- organised Future Feminism in New York alongside singer Anohni, musicians Sierra and Bianca Casady from CocoRosie, and performer Johanna Constantine, an art, music and performance event that later toured Europe. Here, actor, model and writer Stoya recounts
  her conversation with the artist at Pfahler’s New York home, including discussions on the relationship between art and disent, artistic personas and the exact way she feels about gender equality.
