'The DIY Knicker Kit Project' is a dialogical collaboration aimed at unveiling topic around menstruality (menstrual cycles, periods, religious taboo and societal shame linked to menstruation) through making, thinking and discursive processes.
The collaboration is run under the concept of 'Wombenhood: exploring the field of menstruality'.
Wombenhood:
exploring the field of menstruality
Wombenhood is an emerging dialogical space that explores topics linked to menstrual cycles, periods, societal taboos and other issues related through collaborative and participatory projects.
Aims at unveiling and unpicking menstruality with the desire to bring societal change through conversations, human interactions and art-making processes in safe spaces open to all.
Wombenhood's concept is co-founded by Valeria Medici and Rhianne Burgess.
