Is the nude body still radical?
In this #UndressedThread, we’re asking whether simple nudity still has the power to challenge the status quo
Not long ago, a bare body could stop traffic—literally and culturally. But in an age of OnlyFans, AI-generated nudes, and hyper-curated social media, has nudity lost its edge? Or is the unfiltered, unretouched, uncommodified human body more radical now than ever? If nudity is too normalized to shock, would that be a good thing or a bad thing?
Whether it’s an act of protest, a quiet form of self-acceptance, or a refusal to conform, nudity still makes a statement. But what kind of statement? That might depend on who’s looking—and why.
In this #UndressedThread, we’re asking:
Do you think nudity still disrupts cultural norms—or is it too familiar to shock?
Where do you see nudity making the biggest cultural impact right now?
Let’s unpack this together—drop your thoughts in the comments. 🪐
