About this episode

This episode explores the history and impact of The Neo Naturists, focusing on Wilma Johnson's contributions to performance art and societal norms around nudity.

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. Listen to all episodes of Naked Age at nakedage.co .
