TAHO_NS1013145_300Flash Factory is about a spirit of individuality and rejection of mediocrity. It’s named after the ‘flash mob’ who lived and died in Hobart’s Female Factory prison in the mid 1800s. A group of so-called troublemakers who defied unjust authority by performing small acts of creative rebellion, they were activists, humorists and eccentrics.
