The Kinsey Institute's Artist Talk - "The Female Body Transformed Through Experience: Personal Truth, Public Controversy" by Yara Ferreira Clüver
Artist and educator Yara Ferreira Clüver will present a lecture titled "The Female Body Transformed Through Experience: Personal Truth, Public Controversy."

Following the talk is an opening reception for The Kinsey Institute's Art Exhibit "Nature & Nurturing: Exploring Human Reproduction from Pregnancy through Early Childhood."
