The co-founder of iFixit, the largest repair collective in the world, talks to our contributing editor about repair as craft—and how we can beat the system that doesn't want us fixing our own stuff.
In my country, Guyana, it’s amazing how many things are repaired.
But as people move upwards, they cast off broken things, or give them to a poor man who finds a way to fix them.
I enjoyyyyyy repairing clothes, broken vases, easy stuff. If I can’t fix it, I pay someone to do the repairs for me.
Thank you for sharing your insights, Neena; it's interesting to hear how the issue of repair is handled in other countries.
There has never been a more important time in history to champion our capacity for restoration and repair. So grateful for this series 💚
Thank you, Kimberly! We agree. :-)
