Repair Café comes to MAAT

Repair. Learn. Share. The Repair Café is an international community initiative that promotes free gatherings where everyday household items can be repaired with the help of volunteers and people with technical expertise in appliance repair. It functions as an informal space for learning, knowledge-sharing and valuing repair and restoration as an alternative to today's culture of overconsumption. MAAT joins this initiative, led by ADM Estrela – Associação Social e Desenvolvimento and Zero Waste Lab, inviting visitors to explore the museum's exhibitions while waiting to repair an appliance that may have seemed beyond recovery.
