Et leeft. The Exhibition on Menstruation
Although about half the world’s population has, will have, or has had a menstrual cycle, menstruation remains a taboo subject. Recently, manifestos, activism against menstrual poverty, and the development of new products have increased worldwide. In Luxembourg too, this universal topic is increasingly addressed, such as with the 2021 petition for menstrual leave or the free distribution of hygiene products in public toilets.
Through museum objects, interviews, music, films, and art, the exhibition unfolds the discussions and debates of recent decades, traces the evolution of menstrual products from the late 19th century to today, and highlights the voices of people who menstruate.
The exhibition was created by the Museum Europäischer Kulturen (MEK) in Berlin and adapted for Luxembourg by the Lëtzebuerg City Museum.
