Soon after humans started wearing clothes the task of laundry came into being. It required the hard work of scrubbing and rinsing with water and chemicals, walking great distances, carrying heavy loads, and skillful repairing of cloth. It was a demanding repetitive task that required diligence and was designated early on as women’s work, often with demands for spotlessly clean and mended results. The Laundry Room exhibition is a result of three women reflecting on their past, present, and future experiences with the laundry, reflecting, often with tongue in cheek, on the social, personal and political aspects of this activity.
