This workshop is a sharing and hopes to be collective learning, re-learning and unlearning. In this space we will talk about our ideas, reflections, memories and experiences regarding menstruation and how perhaps these ideas have changed over the years. While we talk I will also propose some exercises to shape the experience through paintings and drawings. The idea is to open new spaces to talk and learn collectively about menstruation. Thus creating new discourses on the subject that are based on our own experiences.
