In celebration of International Women’s Day, Hyper Storage Collective is accumulating feminine products for Nellie’s Women’s Shelter.
In this small but mighty project, A Period of Time, Hyper Storage Collective hopes to raise awareness to the fact that feminine products are often the most requested items listed at food banks and shelters.
They’ve even constructed large vaginas with bags connected so that you can push your “box” through their “box” (i.e., feminine product donation into the vagina installation/collection bin). They will be collecting at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre until February 28.
