Threads of Liberation: Materialising Menstrual Politics Through Domestic Craft
Jasmine Kay is a Manchester-based interdisciplinary artist whose work interrogates the paradigms of menstrual liberation through intricate textile and sculptural provocations. Her practice interweaves traditional domestic crafts, from sewing to the layered narrative of quilting, with contemporary discourse addressing period poverty and dismantling entrenched menstrual taboos.
By embracing historically feminine labour traditions, Jasmine’s work forges connections between the legacy of female creative ingenuity and today’s pressing social challenges still faced by women globally. Her work reveals the nuanced realities of menstruation in a visually arresting, intellectually provocative manner, inviting viewers to reconsider boundaries between art, identity, and empowerment.
Exploring the raw, often unruly nature of menstruation, Jasmine Kay challenges societal discomfort around it and menstrual waste, reframing both as sites of personal and political significance.
