Creative Repair for The People and The Planet

In a world of fast fashion and fleeting trends, the art of repair beckons us to slow down and reconnect. Creative repair is more than a sustainable practice—it’s a way to connect across time, cultures, and communities. In this talk we’ll explore how repair fosters a transfer of knowledge and skills across generations and cultures, becoming a bridge that unites communities. Join us in a conversation about how repairing and upcycling our clothes can nurture both the planet and the people, crafting a legacy of care, resilience, and community.
