Rooted in the transformative power of art and community, The Laundromat Project’s 2025 Liberation Series will engage with the organization-wide theme of Black Quantum Futurism, exploring how time, space, and memory inform collective liberation. Beginning in February, our monthly First Fridays series will examine elements of Black Quantum Futurism through a deeper engagement with the natural elements of Water, Air, Earth, and Fire. This monthly First Fridays series will be led by LP Alumni Artist Wéma Ragophala, whose visionary work bridges the arts and community organizing in New York City and South Africa.
As a theater director, writer, and cultural advocate, Wéma will guide us through a dynamic five-month journey of creative gatherings, cultural conversations, and interactive art-making experiences. From February through June, her thoughtful curation will activate our Bed-Stuy storefront as a hub of artistic expression and community engagement. Join us in celebrating art as a portal to future possibilities, where creativity becomes a tool for resistance, healing, and imagining new futures!
