21 September 2022 Vienna's first 're:pair' festival happening from 15 October until 6 November at the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art Volkskundemuseum received in August, early September attention by media with short articles about the intention of the event to longer interviews with the initiator of the festival Tina Zickler such as at the magazine for sustainable lifestyle 'Biorama' where Zickler provides the outlook that the festival in 2023 will focus on fashion. Already the first edition of the 're:pair' festival in 2022 has a strong focus on fashion even when the lecture series shows only one event dedicated in the title explicitly to 'fashion', the theoretical approaches of lectures like 'Reparatur ist die Königsdisziplin der Kreislaufwirtschaft!' (Repair is the supreme discipline of the circular economy!) or the call for a change in politics 'Schauplätze des Reparierens und Selbermachens & die Notwendigkeit eines Wandels der Politik' are building the foundations of the festival and address consumption in general, including fashion. The festival opens on the 'International Repair Day' as one of the activities of a young international movement for a more sustainable future (the map of events can be found on openrepair.org/international-repair-day/get-involved/).
One of the founding members of the 'International Repair Day' (since 2017) is the community platform iFixit which is specialized in repair guides for electronic devices. iFixit will be represented by a speaker at the well curated lecture-series.
(Fashion.at checked the programme today at repair-festival.wien/lectures; according to the website, the programme will be continuously expanded and updated.) |
