The campaign 'Art’s Missing Period' challenges the stigma around period blood by showcasing art from around the world, including ancient pieces and contemporary works rejected by galleries. Kotex's initiative highlights the overlooked history of blood in art, aiming to educate and inspire. By featuring works from 35,000 BCE to modern pieces, the campaign seeks to redefine how blood is perceived in artistic expression. This effort not only celebrates the diversity of art but also promotes a more inclusive understanding of historical art collections.
