The Moonblood Movement (2025 – ongoing), inspired by The Red Tent Movement, is a research based practice about empowering women to unite, embrace their bodies and menstruation, to talk about things we don’t talk about, bulldoze old ideas and become part of our own community of activists together striving for change!
We champion hope as a driving theory in creating change and a community of resistance, support and strength.
‘Hope is not a door, but a sense that there might be a door at some point, some way out of the problems of the present moment even before that way is found or followed’ (Solnit, 2005: 22).
Art activism is a creative approach to sparking disrupt and social change in a peaceful, quirky way which invites people to participate in creative ways to express themselves, their feelings, and their voice be heard. We painted uteruses, decorated sanitary bins, designed stickers to put on bins around Chichester to spread period positivity, created group murals and made a space where we could define a new conversation that spoke, taught and connected women.
Key female artists, activists and theorists who inspired the movement include Sara Ahmed, Rebecca Solnit, The Guerrilla Girls and Nicola Caravan.

‘Your feelings can be the site of a rebellion.’ (Ahmed, 2017: 246).
