0:01
artworks it's an audacious feminist
0:03
performance artwork that Defi tabos and
0:05
traditional Notions of the female body
0:07
in art the performance began with shiman
0:10
standing nude before an entire audience
0:13
covering her body in paint and moving in

0:21
from her hooa and began to read
0:25
it full critique of the male dominated
0:28
art World highlighting the dismissal of
0:30
female artists and their ideas then he
0:32
viewed the performance as an
0:33
Unapologetic reclaim of the female body
0:35
