Summary:

Pioneering feminist conceptual artist Hannah Wilke inspires student artist Rose Shulman-Litwin to be braver and more confident in her work and in her body. Wilke's innovative, controversial and deeply personal artwork mesmerizes and challenges viewers, even now, decades after her death. Rose tells us, "People are still too scared to do what she did." Wilke used nude and semi-nude images of her own body - throughout her life - to confront cultural stereotypes of femininity, feminism, and sexuality, beginning a dialogue still relevant today. Rose tells us the story of Hannah Wilke, a woman who dared to control her own body, her own image, and how Hannah persevered in her art to the end of her life. Hannah Wilke was ahead of her time, but her courage and determination live on, inspiring contemporary artists.
