42nd
UNMUTED was on display from July 26th until August 23rd. The show, which was curated by U of M professor of Graphic Design Sanaz Feizi, developed from a research project that invited cisgender, transgender, and non-binary members of the surrounding community to break the silence around menstruation. Central to the exhibition are participant-created masks: a visual perception of menstruation informed by the research, offering a powerful way to express identity, reclaim space, and give form to rarely spoken experiences. This project was sponsored in part by the Institute for Arts and Health and Communities of Research Scholars.
