Whose Menopause? by Marge Bradshaw

Online Talk: 14 Oct 2024 19:00 - 20:30

Using socially engaged practice and archive collections to challenge the narrative of menopause. 

Marge will share the process of delivering ‘Whose Menopause?’, a 12-month socially engaged programme of work in Bolton, which was co-created with three community groups. The project used photography and sustainable cameraless methods to challenge the typical menopause narrative, which often excludes people identifying as LGBTQ+, working class or from the global majority. 

This event is open to everyone.
