   In our current exhibition, Menopause: What’s Changed?, we ask visitors to consider the language we use to describe menopause and menopausal people. Language matters, it reflects and reinforces stereotypes entwined with misogyny, ageism, and ableism.

   How, then, might we rethink our language? How can we reclaim existing language and how might we introduce new language into the mix?

     As the magnets in this display get more faded and bedraggled with every hand that touches them, we can see which words resonate with our visitors the most. Whether that be because they’re familiar or relatable, whether it’s because they’re spot on or dead wrong we can’t say. Nevertheless, we’re intrigued by the insights that emerge.

     What does it mean that horny, hot, sexless, witch, climax, unashamed, hormonal, sweaty are among the words our visitors interact with most? That prime, matriarch, invisible, caring, wakeful, compassionate are among the least?

     What words would YOU use to describe your menopause?

     Come see the exhibit in the flesh!
