Battersea to welcome Emily Ratajkowski this weekend

Emily Ratajkowski will be speaking at the Shameless! Festival this Saturday November 27 at Battersea Arts Centre.

The American model, actor and author will be speaking to Jude Kelly CBE founder of WOW - Women of the World about her upcoming book My Body.

Ratajkowski chronicles moments from her own life in My Body, exploring - among other subjects - the blurred lines between consent and abuse as she does so.

At the sold out inaugural event she will discuss the power of feminist thought and the #MeToo movement.

The inaugural Shameless! Festival of Activism Against Sexual Violence hopes to revolutionalise conversations around sexual violence and burst open inherited ideas of shame, empowering everyone to create a collective, transformative shift within society to say enough is enough and sexual violence must end.

Ratajkowski rocketed to world fame at 21-years-old after her appearance in the music video for Blurred Lines, Robin Thicke's controversial 2013 hit.

The Blurred Lines video, which featured Ratajkowski and two other half-naked models alongside the fully clothed Thicke, Pharrell Wills and rapper TI, sparked widespread debate.
