Airing Out the “Dirty” Laundry

An ongoing community art movement that responds to the silencing of women*, creating opportunities for all women to share stories through visual storytelling.

@cltiscreative 2021 Goal: To collaborate with the @guerrillagirls for a Laundry Day Workshop and create a badass opportunity for more women artists to feel seen and heard.

[Airing Out the “Dirty” Laundry @womenslaundry]

Your participation in Airing Out the "Dirty" Laundry matters because there is so much beauty and strength in the collective voice.
We all have a story to tell.
Be a part of the narrative.
@BreneBrown & @GlennonDoyle I feel like you might love this.

@pdshistory Thank you! I’m so happy that your family could experience it together.

It has been such an honor to partner with y’all for the install, Laundry Day Workshop, and this outstanding article written by one of your students. @winthropgallery

[Winthrop University Galleries @winthropgallery]

Winthrop's student newspaper, The Johnsonian, published an article this week about the Airing Out the "Dirty" Laundry exhibition in the DiGiorgio Campus Center, including excerpts from an interview with Andrea Downs.

Last night, anti-abortion activists painted Baby Lives Matter on the street in front of a Planned Parenthood in Cherry. We’ve gotten reports of harassment and racist remarks against patients and residents in the historically Black neighborhood over the last week.

I remember when Chief Kerr Putney said, "I cannot wait to show you the body cam footage" of the June 2 incident, implying that Queen City Nerve's raw, live-stream footage of the ambush was some sort of false narrative. Then he retired before we got to see this.

@GLHJR Wait just a minute...is that barbed wire just protecting the Trump and private drive signs?!?

[Airing Out the “Dirty” Laundry @womenslaundry]

@GlennonDoyle I just said the exact same thing to @downs_jesse

[Equal Justice Initiative @eji_org]

On this day in 1917, continuing violence raged in East St. Louis, Illinois, as white mobs attacked Black residents and destroyed their homes and property. https://t.co/zbHXv22j9E

"Mom, these people are upset about violence in protests, but the violence the police are doing is just ok?!?"
- my 10 year old just now
I always have @WFAE on in the morning.
He is always listening.
All of our kids are watching how we respond.
