Repair and Design Futures
An exhibition, multidisciplinary programming initiative, and journal issue.
Repair, a humble act born of necessity, expresses resistance to the unmaking of our world and the environment. This exhibition investigates mending as material intervention, metaphor, and call to action. Spanning the globe and more than three centuries, objects in the exhibition reveal darns, patches, and stabilized areas that act as springboards to considering socially engaged design thinking today. Through an informal, expansive format of related exhibitions, the RISD Museum hopes to encourage engagement across a broad spectrum of perspectives. Works on display include costume and textile objects, as well as many interesting speakers involved in a debate on the topic. Have a look!
