Please use the clothespins provided to join your story together with the others. You can identify yourself however you choose, or remain anonymous and you are certainly welcome to snap a photo of your story, tag @womenslaundry and post it on Instagram.

BIO

We all have a story to tell.

Some of us live much of our lives feeling invisible–unseen and unheard.

We are not alone.

In February 2018, multidisciplinary visual artist and art educator, Andrea Downs began inviting women to participate in Airing Out the “Dirty” Laundry–an ongoing and participatory community art movement that responds to the silencing of women by creating opportunities for all women to share their experiences through visual storytelling. The initiative serves as an amplifier for women’s voices, a call to gather together to listen and to be heard, and an opportunity to foster love and understanding that resists hate and injustice.
