Repair can be intimidating if you haven’t done it before, and the hardest part often is getting started. It’s easier with other people to get you over that hump, and that’s where Repair Cafe NYC comes in!
We’re a group of DIYers who love fixing things! (And we’re also on Discord!)
Repair Cafe NYC organizes events where we collectively diagnose and fix broken objects, share skills, and build intergenerational, community-based knowledge. We’re interested in helping each other gain confidence in the act of repair to prevent our belongings from going to the landfill, and thinking critically about where our things come from.
People bring a wide variety of items to events, including lamps, chairs, mugs/plates, clothes and more. Think small, portable items (no large appliances, bicycles or couches).
When: Saturday May 2nd, 2pm-5pm
Where: NYC Resistor, 87 3rd Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217
At check out you will be asked these questions:
- What’s broken in your life that you want to repair? Describe it and how it is broken.
- Does your repair require specific tools or parts? Do you have them?
- Are you interested in helping others with their repairs? If so, what skills would you like to share?
