Description

Disobedient Bodies by Emma Dabiri explores how beauty is shaped by patriarchal and capitalist forces. Society's ideals often lead to self-loathing, as we're taught to hide our perceived flaws. This book delves into the concept of beauty, challenging traditional notions and offering alternative perspectives from diverse cultures and worldviews. By unpacking and subverting these ideas, Dabiri invites readers to find joy in their own bodies. Accompanied by a major exhibition at Wellcome Collection in autumn 2023, Disobedient Bodies is a thought-provoking exploration of beauty and identity.
