Description

 

For too long, beauty has been entangled in the forces of patriarchy and capitalism: objectification, shame, control, competition and consumerism.

We need to find a way to do beauty differently.

This radical, deeply personal and empowering essay points to ways we can all embrace our unruly beauty and enjoy our magnificent, disobedient bodies.

It accompanies The Cult of Beauty, a major exhibition at Wellcome Collection, opening in October 2023.
