    There Will Be Blood (Part 1)

    Visualising Menstruation is written, hosted, edited and produced by Dr Bee Hughes. In today's episode (part 1 of a 2-part special) join Bee to explore how artists have shaped the aesthetics of menstrual blood, from the language of disgust and stigma to imagery that celebrates blood’s beauty, power, and symbolism, and work that uses menstrual blood as a metaphor for social and political violence. We’ll talk about art made by men about menstruation, think through how some works link menstrual blood to universal ideas of femininity, and others that totally reject that framework to make bold political statements. It’s a conversation that goes way beyond the bloody binary — we hope you enjoy.  Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/flow-state License code: KL36RERAGRJTA1OS Follow us on Instagram @visualising_menstruation Get involved at: https://forms.microsoft.com/e/Vc2h3dqPH8 Find out more about Bee at www.beehughes.co.uk and full show notes here The Visualising Menstruation project is supported by LJMU Faculty of Society + Culture funding.

    Bring Out the Bodies

    Visualising Menstruation is written, hosted, edited and produced by Dr Bee Hughes. In this episode we’re going to get into the thorny issues of the naked body in art. Why has femininity historically been labelled as the object, and masculinity as the subject? Is it possible to wrest control of representing bodies away from the regime of the male gaze?
