20 WUR (Wageningen University & Research) and 27 artists from Wageningen collaborated for almost one year to create the unique exposition "Art meets Science", showing a variety of art works.
I worked with two artists (Berna Meppelink and Jacqueline van Bergeijk) and scientist Renske van Lonkhuijzen to make work about her research about the perception of menstruation. We named our project 'menstruation woes'. Menstruation is still shrouded in stigma and shame - I made an artist book 'shhhh...' about this and collected related euphemisms. Jacqueline embroidered touching quotes on underwear, Berna documented the menstruation history of a woman (born in 1936, 4 children, 2 miscarriages) on 'the red carpet'. We hope to spark conversation which eventually may change attitudes towards menstruation.
