Menstrual experiences once discussed privately are increasingly explored through research, art and culture.
​
I Am a Menstrualist is a 90-minute live performance where research, art and audience participation meet lived experience through story and rhythm.
​
Designed for universities, student unions, workplaces, festivals and museums across the country, the work offers a contemporary cultural experience where audiences contribute to a growing, co-created artwork that culminates in a public exhibition.
I Am a Menstrualist combines three elements in 90 minutes:
