Transformative Repair is an exhibition that brings together emerging and established Australian artists, designers and craftspeople to reinterpret broken objects, using innovative approaches to repair and reuse.
This presentation is the third and final public exhibition in the project, and the culmination of six years of research and development led by Dr Guy Keulemans (University of South Australia) and Dr Trent Jansen (University of NSW) in collaboration with JamFactory and the Australian Design Centre, supported by the Australian Research Council. Together with leading practitioners across disciplines, the project showcases how new models for the sustainable use of materials and products can establish new opportunities for consumers and collectors through the thoughtful repair of their broken things.
Alongside the exhibition is a discussion and book launch at BAR Cantina.
