MARCH 2017 – PRESENT

The Blak Laundry is a functional laundromat — and exhibition space — for conversation, collaboration and celebration of all things Blak.

Activated by Libby Harward (Quandamooka) and Dominique Chen (Gamilaroi), the concept is simple: bring your dirty linen, pop it on a warm wash, and engage in critical conversation whilst it cleans.

In The Blak Laundry, everything comes out in the wash.

The exhibition and laundromat debited  at Munimba-ja in Sept 2023 and had its second iteration at Woodford Folk Festival dec/jan 23/24

Pop–up performance pieces with invited guests that agitate ideas and discussion are regularly scheduled, and shared via our Facebook and Instagram pages.

This is a working laundromat — bring your dirty laundry!
