Museum of Repair, Thursday – Saturday
a temporary museum that collects the repaired, instead of searching for
the prepared
All the unique objects that managed to attain a new life through special processes, all the relationships that were renewed instead of disposed, all the things that weren’t thrown away when broken. We admire the craft of repairing and we want to highlight knowledge and experience about it. If
You have something that has been repaired – an object, a photo or just a story that you would like to contribute with, come and speak to us, bring something to lend us, a photo, at text or send an e-mail.
Repair Share, Thursday – Saturday
is collecting and connecting needs and knowledge about repair
We have all thoughts or wishes about what needs repair (or improvement) but also own skills, experience or knowledge about others who have. What if we could make new connections in-between?
If You have thoughts and ideas around this let us know, come and speak to us or send an e-mail.
Repair It Together workshop, Saturday
is where we meet to talk and repair together
Open for all, this workshop is thought of as a place to primarily meet and share thoughts and skills. Bring something to repair: a thing, a thought, anything broken or not really working, a problem, an opportunity or a skill, a tool, some material or just yourself. Fika to all participants.
