The (In)visible Organ is a participatory arts initiative to destigmatize the cervix and inner reproductive anatomy in heath education and research
When I think of female reproductive anatomy, I think that it is enigmatic, hidden from us physically… this was an eye-opening experience to be able to visualize something that is so intrinsically a part of me that I have never seen in this way before.”

The cervix is an organ that experiences both growth and pain, and is marked by its incredible resilience. It transforms everyday of the menstrual cycle and it expands in childbirth; it could show signs of sexual trauma and when it’s infected with disease. Yet, do we ever talk about it? Do we even know what the cervix looks like?
The (In)visible Organ shares stories of growth, pain, resilience, and beauty surrounding the inner reproductive anatomy to image new futures for women’s health Inspired by the Callascope technology, our initiative brings in the voices of women and nonbinary people and our intersectional histories into health education, research, and innovation.
