On International Menstrual Health Day 2025, Farah conducted a workshop on Period Matters at the Nairobi Contemporary Art Institute.
Participants engaged with different mediums of art, poetry and advertising depicting menstruation. A debate on the male and female gaze on female bodies in fiction highlighted how there is a prevalence of myths and fears around menstruation. A discussion on Senator Gloria’s stunt in parliament, period shaming at work, peri-menopause and menopause revealed how there is still stigma around women’s bodily experiences.
