BLOODY BEAUTIFUL
Wee Nuls work has recently gained notoriety due to her artwork and mural ‘BLOODY BEAUTIFUL’ which was created on International Women’s Day 2021 to raise awareness for the Homeless Period Belfast’s campaign, ‘Menstruation Matters’. Three days after the mural was finished, it was painted black by an unidentified man. This sparked huge discussion on media platforms around censorship of femme presenting bodies, shame and stigma on menstruation, and the need for free period products in ALL public toilets.
