Christy Bencosme
This project is an ongoing series of public installations initiating a visual repeal of the taboo discretion on menstruation. Made with repurposed plastic pad wrappers, this particular pile of underwear in various skin tones carry crotches with stains of red cash. Illustrating money as menstrual blood, unsustainable products and period poverty are visited as a nod to the inequitable experience of bleeding bodies.
DATE & TIME
Friday March 14, 2pm-5pm
Saturday March 15 and Sunday March 16, 12pm-4pm
LOCATION
14th and Eleventh Avenue
Christy Bencosme (b. 1992) is a Dominican-American artist from Jamaica, Queens. Creating art to initiate a visual conversation with others, her goal is to provide the opportunity to ask ourselves questions of social progress. Reflecting a voice of poverty, she uses repurposed materials to create socio-political works and often installs them directly on the street.
