    PERIOD: THE REAL STORY OF MENSTRUATION

    Menstruation is something half the world does for a week at a time, for months and years on end, and yet it remains largely misunderstood. In Period, Kate Clancy counters the false theories that have long defined the study of the uterus, exposing the eugenic history of gynecology while providing an intersectional feminist perspective on menstruation science.

    Blending interviews and personal experience with engaging stories from her own pioneering research, Clancy explores a host of timely issues surrounding menstruation, from bodily autonomy, menstrual hygiene, and the COVID-19 vaccine to the ways racism, sexism, and medical betrayal warp public perceptions of menstruation and erase it from public life.

    THIS PERFORMANCE IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, NO TICKET IS REQUIRED.
