Become A Menstruator

BAM is a living project. It is meant to grow with time and with the people that are involved. For everyone who wants to support the project and help me show the project in different cultures, there are a limited edition of Fine Art Prints of BAM-Stamps available.

The first edition of these Fine Art Prints were displayed at the show «Arts & Crafts Week at Panty Camp» at the Baumwollspinnerei Leipzig. Each print is signed and numbered and there are only 10–13 prints available of each stamp.

I menstruated quietly for decades and it wasn't until recently that I asked myself, why on earth am I hiding this perfectly natural thing. So I rid myself of fear and shame and began to analyze euphemisms and undermine stereotypes. This website is about putting a new face on the matter of menses. It aims to empower you to be autonomous. In the full sense of DIY Feminism I want you to be a menstrual activist. Fire away!
