Laia Abril’s project, On Menstruation Myths reveals the plight of those experiencing this biological mechanism in societies that despise it. The artist used texts and images to explore myths and beliefs of various cultural origins, alongside unsettling statistics on the way of life for girls and women during their menstrual cycle. Displaying both research and visual metaphors, the installation allows a better comprehension of the tragic repercussions of miseducation and silence regarding the menstrual calendar.
