About the event
We all have a story to tell.
Be a part of the narrative, make your story visible, and connect with people who will appreciate you, in a comfortable, safe, and brave space. This Laundry Day is being offered in partnership with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library so the registration link will take you directly to their website.
Please include a valid email address in your rsvp so that you will receive the email that includes the Zoom link the day before the event.
Laundry Days provide opportunities for you to share your story, experience, and truth through the creation of a piece of visual storytelling. You don't need any artistic skill to participate, just a desire to share your story.
There is also never any pressure to share your story verbally. Some women just need to hold space with other women to be able to process a story. Along these lines, please connect to the meeting in a space that feels most comfortable and safe to you.
These hour-long Virtual Laundry Day opportunities hold space for you to hear more about the inspiration and purpose behind Airing Out the "Dirty" Laundry, see a variety of examples of pieces that women have already created, and time to begin considering the story that you would like to share.
If possible, identify and have available articles of clothing or other textiles or pieces of fabric, photos or even things that you have written that could serve as the base layer for your piece.
Your signed or anonymous piece can be created and completed at home and then mailed to me at 613 Neill Ridge Road, Matthews, NC 28105 and will become a part of the collection of women's stories and joined together on laundry clotheslines in ongoing installations of Airing Out the "Dirty" Laundry.
