Laundry Lives: Everyday Life and Environmental Sustainability in Indonesia

Laundry Lives takes us into the usually invisible everyday worlds of five middle class Indonesians: Lia, Dyna, Ning, Adi and Nur. As Indonesia’s economy and market grow, there are hidden implications for the domestic lives of the country’s rapidly expanding professional middle classes and for environmental sustainability. Laundry Lives captures this moment of change, showing the shifting gender relations, new technologies, and environmental concerns that need to be accounted for in the design of sustainable futures.
