What's the difference between nudity and nakedness? Is the naked body inherently erotic? And how far can we push the boundaries of the naked body in art, cinema and literature?

Strap yerself in for a juicy episode where we will be questioning a history of female nudity in western art, unpacking the different senses of what is acceptable when it comes to the naked flesh of women versus that of men, and delving deeper into the expectations and assumptions of nude forms.

Why are so many of the female nudes we see in art galleries anonymous? Do visual representations of female nudity give power to the women they are addressing? And how far do our personal viewpoints play a role in the ways in which we respond to nakedness?

Tune in for a riveting and relevant episode exploring questions of identity, desire and viewing... and, let us know what YOU think. Have all taboos around nudity gone?
