Guerrilla Repair

The monthly event gathers people around making and repairing in front of shopping malls, shopping streets. The defiant action appropriates a space with camping camp chairs, cushions, poufs, banners, flags, flyers. The sense of togetherness is enhanced by the free exchange of skills between hobbyists, passionate, and curious. The sewing, knitting, crochet, mending offer a direct alternative to the act of consumption. Moreover the techniques, gestures reopen to the folklore. The learning animates younger with older, the public with the intimate, and produces empowerment, self-satisfaction, joy.
