The aim of the article is to investigate the relations between the colour pink and the performative representations of vaginas based on the examples of two performances, Malina and Have a Good Cry. The author claims that the subversive interception of these characteristic emblems of femininity accelerates the process of rebuilding and redefining the female identity. Referring to Elizabeth Grosz’s project of corporeal feminism, the author analyses the process of reclaiming the vagina both as a tool of social control located in the body and as a discursive field. Recalling contemporary references to the anasyrma ritual as well as the history and symbolism of pink, she considers the process of covering and/or replacing the vagina with this colour. Then, in the context of the oeuvre of Maria Pinińska-Bereś, she discusses the intertwining of pink and vaginas which occurs in the aforementioned performances.
