The Fixers’ Collective is a social experiment in improvisational fixing and mending. Our goals are:
1/ To increase material literacy in our community by fostering an ethic of creative caring toward the objects in our lives.
2/ To displace cultural patterns that alienate us from our things, by collectively learning the skills and patience necessary to care for them.
3/ To promote a counter-ethos that values functionality, simplicity, and ingenuity and that respects age, persistence and adequacy.
4/ To encourage our communities to take liberties with designated forms and purposes, resulting in mended objects that exist both as art and within a utilitarian context.
