Cliteracy | Sophia Wallace | TEDx Talk

(TEDx Talks, 7/15) Artist Sophia Wallace talks about "Cliteracy," a critically-acclaimed project addressing citizenship and body sovereignty using the medium of text-based objects, unauthorized street installations, and interactive sculptural forms. The subject? The vagina's clitoris, the most sensitive part of the human body.

This is an anatomically-correct clitoris.

Sophia Wallace is an American conceptual artist and photographer. Through the use of images, video, and mixed media, she explores alterity.

Wallace’s focus is how otherness is constructed visually on the gendered, sexualized, racialized human body.

Wallace has presented her work in major exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad, including Kunsthalle Wien Museum, Art Basel Miami, Scope NY, Taschen Gallery, and Aperture Gallery, among others.

She was awarded PDN's Curator Award, Critic's Pick by the Griffin Museum, American Photography AP-25, and ArtSlant's Showcase Award.

I didn't know I was clit-illiterate.

Her work has been reviewed in BLOUIN Art Info, The New Yorker, Salon, Huffington Post, Fast Company, Hyperallergic, and Bitch Magazine, among other publications.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED Conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
