The Art of Menstruation at the
Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health

The third one in the
series is called "Mi tupela save
bilum i bugarup." In tok
pisin from Papua, New Guinea,
it means that we know there are not
going to be any babies. The
broken bilum is represented
symbolically by stitching in the
lower abdomen of the female figure.
It represents the mature and married
woman, and her husband, realising
their infertility. The patterns
along the border are bilum patterns.
The use of foreign language titles
reflects my background (French
Canadian) as well as my geographic
location at particular periods of my
life.
