How is it possible that we landed on the moon before we figured out the anatomy of the clitoris? This is one of many questions artist Sophia Wallace poses in this thought-provoking talk about the complexity and misrepresentation of women's bodies and sexuality. Using her mixed-media installation "Cliteracy" as an example, she demonstrates how art and education can work together to change this. As she says, "My dream is to radically change the way we think about bodies so that everyone's body is respected."
