Exploring foot binding in China, neck stretching in Papua New Guinea and more; it also tracks the changes in body image ideals over the last 100 years in the UK - from corseting in Victorian times to tattooing, piercing and anorexic bodies in today’s society. It's set to be a fantastic and informative talk! Warning: there may be some grotesque images.
