Repairing is cool! Whether it’s a critique of consumerism, concerns about sustainability, or just a lifestyle choice, we take a look at what lies behind the trend for repairs and what that means for mountaineering.
The participatory collection project »Lost and Found Memories Office â„– 3« shows that the idea of care and repair has always been an intrinsic part of mountain sport, inspiring some of the more creative repairs today. After all, things get broken in the mountains too. But what do you have to consider when repairing outdoor gear? At what point does safety play a role? And what stories do the repaired and broken objects have to tell? We let designers, tailors, minimalists, and researchers have their say as we join with you in putting together tips and tricks to extend the life cycle of our own gear.Â
Create your own on-the-go repair kit at the Upcycling Table and tell us about your mountain adventures, mishaps, patch-ups, and life hacks – either there in the exhibition or online at fundbuero.alpinesmuseum.ch.
