Period Music is a collective process that involves Susanna Gonzo, Merma Suelo, Tuce de Alba, Elizabeth Gallon Droste, Agnese Menguzzato, and Farah Hazim, aiming to attune to the different rhythms, cycles and temporalities experienced through our bodies, using the menstrual cycle - periods - as their main inspiration.

‘Period Music’ draws from multiple meanings of period - from musical structures of recurring phrases to astronomical cycles, from the end of sentences to the Sanskrit word for ritual, r'tu, whose central meaning is menstruation and whose root connects to arithmetic and rhythm. Period Music has been staying with essential questions about how we listen to the rhythms in our bodies and in the world. With a focus on refusing the imposed speeds of daily life in an accelerated system, the collective has opened up co-creation spaces that challenge traditional narratives and work with embodied memories, stillness and grief. Through dialogues, improvisations, and jam sessions, the artists have attuned to each other's processes, creating scores, writing, drawing and sounding together to open space for Period Music rituals. This work embodies other notions of community through archetypes, seasons and spirals, embracing the impermanence that reveals the various rhythms of life.
