In early 2017, as a part of @wretched-of-the-earth we hosted Ladio Veron of the Guarani-Kaiowa indigenous community in Brazil at DIY Space for London. We held a small but powerful workshop where we got to learn about the struggle of this community against the expansion of agribusiness.
During the workshop we made this little Zine, retelling the story of the Guarani-Kaiowa and where their struggle is at the moment.
It includes Ladio’s original designs on the front and back cover.
Please share it so their story continues to be heard.
Decolonise Menstruation is a series of participant-led workshops aimed at ending period shame within the unique experience of BIPOC communities. We use creative activities to break down taboos and myths around menstruation and our bodies. One way we did this was to write a group poem using the cinquain format, starting with one word and increasing one word per line upto 5 then back down again. Participants took turns, each contributing as many words as necessary for their line, about their own lived experience of their first period. So the poem reflects, as a group, what it was like to get our first period. An experience nearly half the world has gone through, but something we rarely share with anyone. We also created a group illustration, where each participant designed an avatar to look like them and then they decided which period products they’d like to include.

Originally posted on Instagram by BGP and DC Has shame, fear of looking foolish, societal norms or anything else, ever stopped you from having a conversation about menstrual products.

🩸Disclaimer when “women” is used We at DM try to avoid saying women or girls when what we mean is menstruators or menopausers. Throughout the workshops we had a lot of discussions on inclusion of all menstruators and transphobia. These topics are new to some of the participants, and as we know it can take a minute to get into the habit of always using inclusive terms. Where women or girl is used in the slide, that is the term that participant used.
