“This is Menopause,” an exhibition by Dorset artist Pauline Ferrick-Squibb, is sponsored by MP Vikki Slade and showcases the varied experiences of menopause through personal portraits and testimonies. Slade emphasizes the need for societal support, highlighting that over 90% of women experience menopause symptoms, impacting many in their workplaces. The exhibition aims to address the stigma surrounding menopause, encourage open conversation, and shape policy. Funded by Arts University Bournemouth, it explores the challenges women face, with plans for the exhibition to return to Dorset after its parliamentary showing, promoting wider understanding in healthcare, employment, and society.
