    Instructions Not Included is a photography exhibition that shares unfiltered, lived experiences of menopause, throwing out the old myths and embracing the chaos and clarity, where no two stories unfold the same way. From an endless, often peculiar list of symptoms, to a new sense of power and hope, these portraits and voices challenge what we think we know. Together, they suggest something bigger: in the space between what we expected and what we’re becoming, we might find new ways of moving through the world.

  • Take Twice Daily until Silent

    A photographic study of the mismanagement, misdiagnosis and misinformation of early and premature menopause.

    A feminist perspective on the history of misdiagnosis and dismissal of people suffering with symptoms of early menopause. The work includes interviews, portraits and a collection of data from women and a trans gender man about their experiences of early menopause and the effects of their lack of autonomy and access to treatment.

    The work looks at the socio economic disparities in access and availability of medical treatment. It also touches on the gender bias in medical research and male-centric medicine which threatens to endanger women health.

    The data has been translated into portraits depicting elements of a plant called Black Cohosh, a phytoestrogen that is often used as a natural replacement for oestrogen which is, more often than not, ineffectual. The animated data portraits feature as an overlay in a short documentary about the work.
