About the curator @sophiawallaceartist: Meet Sophia Wallace (born in 1978, in NYC), a visionary artist working in the fraught territory of bodies and ethics. If you know the complete anatomy of the clitoris, there is a good chance it is because of the activist artist’s viral project ‘CLITERACY’. For eleven years, Sophia has sculpted, sketched, pasted, inflated and spoken the clitoris into indelible presence. She lives in Brooklyn with her wife and feminist son. 📸 For more #FeministArtFeatures visit @art.feminist | Posted on 11/Nov/2023 21:52:47
