Laundromat Art
When a Harlem-based group of artists and community activists wanted to make a difference in their local neighborhoods, they looked for a space that was already being used by the community and had gathering potential.

Each time, when these things happened, I was disgusted with the way people didn’t bother to help. It was enough to make me say stuff like “this country is going to hell in a handbasket,” which I actually said. But you know who came to my rescue all three times? Poor laborers who didn’t even speak any English.” { read more }
