Design Museum, FIX Arena (2nd floor)
With museum admission | No pre-registration required
The programme arranged at the FIX Arena of the FIX: Care and Repair exhibition invites us to collectively care for our shared environment and to engage in fixing. The versatile and open programme includes repair demonstrations, discussions, workshops, and events. Repair demonstrations can also be followed online.
The series of repair demonstrations introduces four master repairers featured in the exhibition. The work of these masters is showcased in timber repair, traditional Japanese Kintsugi, traditional Japanese Sashiko embroidery, and darning and patching. Come along and take a look into the workspace and methods of these master repairers!
