🩸🩸It’s Menstrual Health Day Today🩸🩸

We’d like to use this opportunity to honor another project by one of our co-founders:

The MENSTRUATION PROJECT by artist, curator and director was launched exactly one year ago, on (though we prefer to call it Menstrual Health Day!) on May 28, 2021.

The is an initiative by the and is dedicated to creating a new communication culture around the cycle. By developing artistic and cultural formats that explore themes revolving around the cycle as well as societal structures connected to it, the Menstruation Project seeks to educate and empower menstruators and non-menstruators alike.

The Menstruation Project kicked off in form of a digital exhibition that features works by 30 artists from around the world. It is structured into 6 chapters plus a DIRECTORY that links to an inspiring range of articles, books, films, initiatives & sister projects:

•• ANATOMY ••
•• CURRENT AFFAIRS ••
•• LEAKING BODIES ••
•• VOLCANO ••
•• CYCLES & THRESHOLDS ••
•• RED TENT ••
•• DIRECTORY ••

The digital exhibition is available through their website:

🔜 Stay tuned!
In autumn they are doing an IRL exhibition at Berlin, taking it to a new level as they present new visions for the so-called GYNECENE ERA!

Check it out and help build inclusive and supportive ecosystems for sharing perspective and raising awareness about beyond-gender menstruation!

The world was given a dire warning this Monday with the release of the latest report which unambiguously stated that it is too late to prevent climate change and that we are currently living in “the warmest multi-century period in at least the last 100,000 years”.

The report spells out the steps we must take to avoid the most catastrophic effects of global climate change, including reducing carbon emissions to 0 by 2050. Whilst the solutions are clear to see, the problem is that we are nowhere near this happening.

We only need to look at the events of this summer to realise that the worst effects of climate change are already at our doorstep in Europe, with catastrophic flooding in Germany and wildfires in Greece and Turkey.

The IPCC report shows us that whilst it is too late to halt or reverse climate change altogether, we can still avoid absolute catastrophe if we make radical, systemic changes, now.

In the wake of the much hyped and much criticised documentary Netflix Seaspiracy, by Ali Tabrizi, it seems that more focus than ever is on our dying oceans, and by extension the fishing industry that governs it. With the extent of corruption, pollution and devastation exposed by Seaspiracy, it seems as though our oceanic eco systems have reached a tipping point.

Casting doubt on NGOs that claim to protect the sea, whilst handing out endorsements to fishing companies, our oceans are defenceless against the machinations of capitalism.

On this World Ocean Day let’s seriously consider reducing our plastic consumption and reducing or eliminate fish consumption.

Before there were huge documentaries like Bikram: yogi, guru, predator on Netflix, Uma Dinsmore- Tuli was speaking out about misogynistic abuse in the yoga world. After being initially blacklisted and shunned for bringing attention to abuse, misogyny and power imbalances in many male-run yoga schools, Uma has grown a movement and a new way of using yoga.

Through founding and publishing her well known book, Yoni Shakti, Uma has carved out a safer space in the yoga world. Her concept of Womb Yoga, approaches yoga in a kinder way, with respect to individuals bodies and cycles, something which is often ignored in mainstream commercial yoga schools.

Uma’s goal is to “nourish every aspect of our lives as women, whether we have a womb, or not, whether we menstruate, or not, and whether we are mothers, maidens, enchantresses or crones!”, a philosophy that is present in her work as a teacher, author and activist.

Our collaboration with .culture continues tomorrow when we go live in conversation over on their page at 19h! In the meantime you can discover a bit more about us from this wonderful artist feature by .culture 🔮
