Honestly, what some people try to present as art is so ridiculous.

My daughter did a show along with other students when she was at uni.
Unfortunately lol, she invited her Granddad along.
Well as you can imagine, a man born in the late 20’s straight and narrow and very opinionated had a lot to say in a very loud voice.

In one room was a display of used condoms......
In another there was a display of vaginas, I would say 70% of it was pure rubbish.

So at the top of his voice, he made his opinions very clear, my poor daughter, wanted to vanish .
I must say, that I did agree, but am a little more diplomatic.
Some of these pretentious students deserved no place in uni.

@Joannie - Your little story is funny, but I have been through similar with my youngest moving in 'arty' circles and doing various courses.
I believe there is a museum in Tasmania (the museum is called 'MONA') which has a roomful of porcelain vulvas on display - breaking some kind of taboo.
But when you think how proudly the male sex organ has been used in art - by the Greeks even as a kind of protective symbol in front of their homes (so-called 'Herm' with erect P.s) - it's about time women became less shameful about an organ, through which all of humanity entered the world of the living, but I guess that wasn't on those young people's minds.
Youth will always try and shock its elders - so in a way Granddad gave them confirmation!
But this is a music thread - back to music - and one of my old favourites, 'Thieving Boy' sung by the wonderful Cleo Laine
