Breaks & Joins is a project about repair; of our stuff, ourselves and our communities. We are a group that includes artists, a buildings manager who runs a repair cafe, a conflict resolution/peacebuilding specialist, and a group of volunteers from many fields. Over the last few years our activity has included Community Arts projects in South London, Community Conversation training, repair sessions, and a podcast and short film.
We believe that the language of repair is relevant across all the fields and constantly criss-cross to keep sharing the ideas and the insights. Crucially, we also recognise that not everything can be mended, and that not everything should be mended, and we strive to consider response to all that is broken through what we do and how we do it.
