Sangre Menstrual
Performance of the Spanish Group Sangre Menstrual at the streets of Madrid in support of their “Manifesto for the Visibility of the Period “. The manifesto is against the tyranny of hiding a physiological function of the female body, of treating the bleeding body as sick, unwell and disgusting and all the taboos further reinforced by religion and society (following the guidelines set religion) .
By visualising the period Sangre Menstrual visualise the body as a political space. Well done girls!

I found it super bizarre that your post came just 3 posts after this one on my reader. I kinda like your concept better. The other was too much for me (yours is more of a statement that i know freaks out guys and i kinda like that.) but i assume that you two can bond together! http://wewastetime.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/blood-pendant/
