Isilumo siyaluma (2006-2011) - Zanele Muholi

Isilumo siyaluma is a Zulu expression that can be loosely translated as period pains/ periods pain. Zanele Muholi uses her own menstrual blood as a vehicle and medium to begin to express and bridge the pain and loss I feel as I hear and become witness to the pain of 'curative rapes' that many of the girls and women in my black lesbian community bleed from their vaginas and their minds.
