Description
Broken Mending and Repair in a Throwaway World
This book explores the enduring appeal of mending and repair in a society that increasingly values disposability. Katie Treggiden delves into the stories of 25 artists, curators, designers, and makers who have chosen to reject fast fashion and opt for the value of care and longevity.
Alongside profiles of these individuals, six in-depth essays examine the societal, cultural, and environmental roles of mending in a world that is increasingly circular. A foreword by Jay Blades adds context to this timely enquiry into what it means to mend and repair in our throwaway world.
