On Display at InterUrban ArtHouse

I was able to include a display of these works in Her Art / Their Art: InterseXions and Identity at InterUrban ArtHouse in Overland Park, KS for March - April 2021. 84 pieces were included in a tight wall installation, pictured here. Also included was a statement about these pieces and a link to this and my Life Blood Exhibit blogs. lifebloodexhibit.blogspot.com/

Origins of this Project

This project evolved out of a Kiss of Love campaign Red Alert: You've got a napkin! raising awareness of basic female reproductive & hygeine rights violations in India (and globally). The campaign calls for sanitary napkins to be sent to the ASMA Rubber company in response to a strip search of employees prompted by the discovery of a used sanitary napkin found in the company's toilet.

This also continues my ongoing series of works exploring menstruation & female reproductive health and my ongoing work with Life Blood Exhibit, a traveling art show devoted to the same topic. Artworks for this blog are created in cycles (to mimic & respond to menstruation) with suites and groupings of pantiliners done at the same time and then posted on a daily basis to serve as daily reminders.
