Design as Repair: Fixing Consumption Culture from the Inside
Education Symposium
Workshop
Sept 13, 2022
Main Stage
10:10 AM - 10:55 AM
Repair, being one of the circular design strategies, is an age-old concept that has seen a comeback with the rise of repair cafes and hacker spaces in the last couple of decades. This workshop is intended to stimulate discussion among designers by focusing on different perspectives on repair from around the world, with special attention TO how repair is used in various cultures to promote thriving.
In the latter part of the workshop, designers and design educators will be invited to either make simple fixes on worn garments with equipment that is provided or ponder a set of questions about if and how we can integrate repair into design courses—and what can be learned by performing acts of repair.
