In this episode of Naked Age, we journey to Sky Farm, the oldest continuously operating nudist club in America, and uncover its remarkable history. Founded in 1932 by a group of German immigrants led by Kurt Barthel and Bill Meyer, Sky Farm became a sanctuary for freedom and community. Through a rare archival interview and vivid storytelling, we trace its roots, the challenges it overcame, and the legacy it continues to uphold as a living testament to the naturist movement.

In this episode of Naked Age, we explore the history of The Neo Naturists, a trio of British artists who used their bodies as living canvases to challenge societal norms around nudity, art, and identity. At the heart of this story is Wilma Johnson, who, alongside Jennifer and Christine Binnie, helped pioneer this bold form of performance art in the 1980s. We take a deep dive into their cultural influence, examining how their work intersected with feminist and art movements of the time and how, after four decades, they are finally receiving the recognition they deserve. Wilma reflects on her journey as an artist, her personal take on naturism, and her contributions to this groundbreaking collective.
