It's the last few hours before we close our #Menopause fundraiser. The clock is ticking! Will you join hundreds of people in supporting an exhibition that no arts or heritage funder would? https://www.gofundme.com/f/r9tszw
Speaking of ticking clocks, those of you who clicked through (or are diligent about clearing your cache) might have noticed the new clock imagery in visuals for this exhibition. So we're thrilled to tell you that yes! The exhibition will have a clock aesthetic!
There's lots of reasons that we chose this design. Most importantly, we as a culture are afraid of time. For women, we talk about the "biological clock" as if it's the Doomsday Clock. But time is neutral. Time is... just time.
Our menopause exhibition will also take you through time. We start in antiquity and progress to the present. We explore the journey from millennia of silence to the vibrant cultural scene which is beginning to blossom.
And the final reason that we chose a clock motif for our exhibition design is for accessibility. Some of our visitors have mentioned they'd like more obvious cues as to how to navigate an exhibition. So we're helping you all start at midnight and follow the numbers!
So your time is now. If you'd like to back Menopause: What's Changed, please donate what you can before midnight tonight! https://www.gofundme.com/f/r9tszw
