In the latest episode of "Het Hart van de Nieuwmarktbuurt," Irma and Jim speak with Denise Rosenboom: artist, activist, and the woman behind the now world-famous vulva necklace, from her kitchen window on the Geldersekade.

We hear how a joke at a festival in Africa grew into a mission against shame, why her shop window has surprisingly much in common with the windows on the Red Light District, and how the neighbourhood offers precisely the freedom that art like this needs.

A warm closing to the podcast: on celebrating diversity, on cherishing birds of paradise, and on the wisdom that you are what you do, not what you say. Thanks for listening.
