R for Repair

R for Repair reimagines repair as an inspiring activity that produces aspiring outcomes. Ten designers in Singapore were invited to exercise their creativity and restore broken, faulty, worn-out objects that were volunteered by the public through an open call. Their unique and fascinating approaches resulted in outcomes that challenge our preconceptions of repair.

There are also nine repair kits produced by design students. Each delivers a novel repair technique where the restored products are “better off” than the original. Despite the pandemic, online hands-on workshops were organised, where each participant received a repair kit via mail to realise a repair process at home presented at the exhibition.
