WanaWana 's video: Dirty Laundry Lagos Exhibition recap

Dirty Laundry is the first solo show by poet and performer Wana Udobang.This installation is an immersive experience interconnecting personal narratives, histories, experiences, and imaginaries as a form of catharsis for the poet and the viewer. Featuring poems screen printed on canvas hanging from laundry lines, the installation was a three day event that included thought-provoking performances that explore issues around womanhood, sexual and gender violence, feminine agency, healing, and reimagination. The hanging poems tell many personal stories for the viewer to experience while walking through the space, a physical representation of the metaphor “hanging your dirty laundry in public.” The event will be accompanied by talk presentations and online discussions on the role of art in social justice movements or activism that seeks to create change. The project was supported by Ford Foundation
