Art by Women About Menstruation
|
|
| Name: | Blood Art |
| About: |
Today, woman are painting with their menstrual blood. It's daringly expressive and makes powerful personal political art. The New York Times Sunday Magazine mentioned menstrual painting in this article.
Give it a try, see how it makes you feel, share your experience and post some pics of your own menstrual blood art here to share.
Consider some of these questions for discussion:
Does making art using your menstrual blood change your attitude or build expectations toward your menstrual cycle?
Does this creative outlet improve your physical experience of menstruating?
How do you feel when you begin tapping into something that's considered by most of society to be taboo? Ever see the thriller movie "Carrie," adopted from Stephen King's novel?
What do you think your menstrual blood art says in a world that is used to seeing blood only in traumatic or violent instances?
Does this experience empower you in ways you care to share with younger girls?
An easy way to collect your menstrual blood is to use The Keeper, which can be ordered online at the website, or the The Soft Cup, which can be purchased in Walgreens.
Send any questions to the community maintainer.
Any posts that do not deal with women's menstrual art or menstrual experience will be deleted. Menstrual art is defined as the creative expression of your menstrual experience. It may or may not contain your menstrual blood.
