SHOW DESCRIPTION
The True Body Project presents Body Language: A Radical Truth. We created this collaborative work with Cincinnati-area teen girls and women and is the result of a three-month research process where we met with a wide range of girls and women in the community to hear the complexities of how we experience our bodies and the secrets we might keep related to these experiences.
