Our grandmothers, they sang stories and I am a storyteller, laundress of my own clothing. In this process of washing, we can wash the pain that we carry as a collective that is suffering in its sleep. The empowerment of all bodies that suffer violence on the clothesline. It is the life force of ancestral women, archetypes of resistance. It is urgent to do art, it is urgent to live. We want people to wash themselves.
