No play: Feminist Repair Café Workshop

About

Workshop in English and German by Elisa Garrote Gasch with Elektra, Flora Könemann & Birte Gerstenkorn (Flirtefunk).

*** What is being repaired? ***
Smaller appliances: broken radios, lamps, headphones, tea kettles, CD players, hand blenders, mobile phones, etc. No printers / TVs / amplifiers - because there is not enough time and we don’t have the appropriate tools. Please, bring only 1 to 2 broken things pro participant.

*** REGISTRATION ***
Limited number of places. Participation only possible after registration at: noplay@ngbk.de - If you already know what you are bringing to repair please specify it in the registration.

*** Why a Feminist Repair Café? ***
Without the volunteering “experts” the Repair Cafés would not exist. But unfortunately there is still too often the case that men are reinforced as experts of soldering iron and women in repairing the sewing machines. In our Feminist Repair Café we want to break these gender structures and create a space where women, lesbians, Inter and Trans* people would also engage and stand in the foreground of the electric field and act as “experts”; where they help each other in repairing stuff and inspire others to take on this otherwise male dominated area.
