Trashlab Repair Cafe on korjauspaja, jossa kokoonnutaan oppimaan yhdessä ja korjaamaan rikkinäisiä esineitä, vaatteita tai laitteita. Se on myös oiva tilaisuus tavata muita tee-se-itse-tekijöitä, tuunaajia, askartelijoita ja muita kierrättämisestä kiinnostuneita ja jäteongelmaan luovilla ratkaisuilla tarttuvia henkilöitä.

Trashlab repair cafe events are social occasions to gather and try to fix the things you have that are broken, and meet others who care about tinkering, fixing, hacking, and the problem of waste and obsolescence in society. Each time we try to identify someone(s) in advance who have some experience/skills, although everyone is encourage to help each other.

We believe art can be used as a vehicle for social change and empowerment of marginalised communities. Projects present progressive contemporary artists to a wider public through interventions in public...

Julkaisu: Trashlab programme in 2014

After a nomadic year 2013 of Trashlab repair workshops touring different studios and maker spaces in Helsinki, the activity in 2014 has now settled into Kaupunkiverstas, the city librarys maker space in Lasipalatsi. The maker space is a recent initative by the library, which responds to the librarys users feedback and ideas of an open workshop space. Trashlab activists also had a role in the development of the space and its facilities: Albert Laine, Eero Yli-Vakkuri, Andrew Paterson and myself (Päivi Raivio) participated in the co-planning process during a workshop organised by the city...

Julkaisu: Recycling waste expedition reflection
4. toukokuuta 2014 19.03, Andrew Gryf Paterson
By Sara Milazzo. So we entered the recycling center to be welcomed with coffee and buns. First we were introduced to the history of the company, tracking back to the beginning of 19th century, and then onwards to nowdays with service packages and global networking trends. The global aspect of big recycling companies doesnt seem to be a easy and clear picture. Due to cultural, regulation and law differences its hard to global consensus, while problems should be dealt with locally. On one hand it is pure business, but on the other hand its very crucial for how life on earth will continue...
