Window – C Tom Albrecht
In our throwaway society, the old culture of repairing has gone out of fashion. However, craftsmen, more private individuals and, for example, new repair cafes are still saving goods from being thrown away. This is easier on the wallet and on the environment. Repair culture contributes to sustainability.
What does a culture of repair look like? What is repaired where and how? Is there a new aesthetic of repairing?
Artists of the culture of repair give their answers with objects, installations, photos, sound, video, film and performance
