Come if you bleed, once did, or care about someone who does.
Bloody Beautiful is a one-day creative festival by affect lab that explores the magical, messy and often-misunderstood worlds of menstruation and menopause. Expect bold talks, art, performances, technology and design that reimagines the future of women’s healthcare. We’re not here to whisper about cycles—we’re here to reframe the conversation entirely.
Speaker and programme details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Why Come?

Because blood isn’t icky – silence is.
So What is Bloody Beautiful?
Bloody Beautiful is a creative movement aimed at normalising conversations about menstruation and menopause. Through research, art and dialogue, we break down the shame and stigma tied to menstruation and menopause.
It’s a movement. It’s a mindset. It’s a space where bleeding is not hidden, but celebrated.
Started by affect lab, Bloody Beautiful brings together artists, designers, researchers, and the public to explore how we talk about (and design for) cycles and transitions that half the world goes through. Bloody Beautiful challenges norms and builds new cultural narratives around periods and menopause—through stories, science, humour and heart.
Who’s Coming?
The curious, the bold, the change-makers. You’ll be in good company—with cultural researchers, sociologists, designers, artists, femtech innovators, city officials, healthcare professionals, human resources thinkers, activists, and the occasional insurance disruptor.
If you’re looking to reinvent the way we think, feel and talk about women’s health — specifically menstruation and menopause — this is your crowd.
Bloody Beautiful welcomes women, trans, and non-binary people—and anyone curious about or impacted by menstrual and menopausal experiences.
Whether you bleed, used to bleed, or want to support those who do, this space is for you.
We would love
to see you there!
