Our purpose-built laundry at Tarnanthi certainly raised the bar. Big thanks to SKEIN and the Art Gallery of South Australia team for all the support putting it together.

Wherever we are, we love that our little laundry feels so good to be in. A safe blak space, and welcoming and agitating space for everyone. Work and life running, and becoming the same. Always a bit strange leaving, and pulling it down at the end of it all.

Here are a few photos of the calm before things got busy.....

Thanks to the extraordinary powers of late stage capitalism, we upgraded our advertising for The Laundry at Tarnanthi. What do you think?

Who wants to buy some Land Back??

We've been a bit quiet on the socials, but in the calm, gentle cycle of the new year—and with some time to soak it all in, wanted to share about our time at Tarnanthi and the Art Gallery of South Australia.

Grateful to be a part of such a deadly gathering on beautiful Kaurna Country. Being amongst, and spending time with so many amazing, staunch and creative Blak artists and community definitely filled the cup.

Was also so good to feel into The Laundry in a supported and collaborative space—feeling how it can be and become what it needs to when we're not busting our murrus just trying to make it work (thanks to the excellent team at AGSA ✨).

It was a privilege to hold the important and truthful conversations we did, and have some people we really admire and respect come and agitate with us. Big shout out and thanks to Dominic Guerrera, Ryan Presley, Judy Watson, Aunty Sandra Saunders, Uncle Badger Bates, Zena Cumpston, and Ali Baker 🖤🧺

Thanks also to everyone that came along and threw themselves into the mix, sorted your odd socks, catagorised your colours, bet on black, played some cards, relaxed, ate some cheese and devon, took notice, did some nighty night meditation, bought a t-shirt and had a yarn—it takes a bit of bravery, curiosity and generosity to properly do your dirty washing 🧼

More photos to come.

And always more washing to do.....

Biggest THANK YOU to all those extra bunjis that snuck in at the end and donated to our Pozible campaign to build a permanent laundromat!!

THANK YOU to EVERYONE that donated!!

We raised 1.378% of our target total, and we really couldn't be happier! It's the long game, and the best thing was feeling all the love and support from you all, and making some deadly new friends along the way 🖤🧺

We've been trying to catch up on all the other life work happening at the moment, but rest assured your prizes will be posted out to you soon. We can't wait to share with you, and aknowledge all your generosity.

If you missed the campaign, you can still support us by donating through our paypal link, share some tiles on your socials or buy one of our flash Blak Laundry t-shirts (go to www.theblaklaundry.com.au)

Stay deadly 🖤🧺🔥✨

Biggest thanks for having us on the show 🖤
