LOCKDOWN 

LAUNDRY

In July 2020, Wellingtonians shared their 

manifold lockdown stories ...

​

And then Lockdown Laundry went nationwide!

​

We've been travelling the country to hear and share lockdown tales

from Whangarei to Wanaka and from Hastings to Westport.

LOCKDOWN LAUNDRY

invites you to come 

air your memories

Lockdown was a time where we couldn't easily share our lives with others.

So how did you go? How did you feel, and how did you spend your days?

 

 

Lockdown Laundry welcomed all New Zealanders to emerge from their bubbles and share their ups and downs with others – we wanted to hear it warts and all.

 

 

You came and had a chat and talked about your experiences with our lovely typist.

She captured your lockdown memories using an old typewriter, and you then hung them out to air on our washing line, alongside other people's Lockdown Laundry notes.

 

 

Everyone was invited, and many came along to share their thoughts or to have a read about how other people in their community experienced Lockdown.

Lockdown Laundry has been traveling all over Aotearoa in 2020 and 2021.

The very final Lockdown Laundry was held in Lower Hutt to coincide with the one year anniversary of the end of the nationwide lockdown in May 2020
