There's a touring exhibition called 'Virginia Woolf: An Exhibition Inspired by Her Writings' exploring art through the lens of Virginia Woolf's work. We speak to the curator of the exhibition, Laura Smith, about the exhibition, feminism, and women artists' representation of self. We also catch up with contemporary artist, Venetia Berry, to get her perspective on female nudes in art history.
