Exposed

Pioneering New York No Wave underground filmmaker and visual artist Beth B takes us into the 21st century underground and reveals a secret world where cutting-edge performers are taking hold of a taboo art form, Burlesque, and driving it to extremes that most people have never seen. It's satire. It's parody. It's a populist blend of art and entertainment that gives new meaning to the word transgression. Above all, it is mind-blowing fun and a fascinating depiction of personal liberation through art. 

Exposed looks at eight boundary-breaking burlesque stars who use their naked bodies as canvases. These cutting-edge artists combine politics, satire, and physical comedy to challenge the audience s notions of gender identity, disability, and sexuality. Bunny Love, Dirty Martini, Tigger!, and more. Beth B s interdisciplinary work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and at the Tate and Hayward Gallery in London, among other notable venues.
