SUMMARY:Durban Repair Café
DESCRIPTION:A love story\, stitched through our clothes\nThis workshop aims to bring together a community of individuals and initiatives\npassionate about extending the lives of our clothes and reducing textile waste in Durban\nand Africa at large. The workshop will combine hands-on activities with an engaging\nchat on the environmental and social impacts of the fashion industry\, and how clothing\nrepair is an act that reduces the urge of replacing what we already own. \nWhy This Matters\nAs Africans\, the act of caring and loving our clothes has been our practice for a long time\,\nbut with the influence of how the world works right now\, these practices seem to\ndisappear. Inspired by the growing community of people who are conscious about\nclothing\, Tengeneza Café (to make/mend in Swahili) through Chemitei Janet and in\ncollaboration with Greenpeace Durban Local Group\, seek to organise a repair workshop.\nWe want to engage with different conscious citizens who are just as curious as we are in\nmaking our loved clothes last. \nParticipants will bring their own clothing items in need of repair or upcycling and we will\nwork together to mend tears\, attach buttons and transform old clothes by also embracing\nslow practices like sewing\, knit and crochet. Janet will share her experience as a Waste\nand Slow Fashion Educator from Kenya\, on the journey of clothes especially through the\nsecondhand supply chain\, and the importance of extending clothing lifespans. This will\ntransition into an open discussion on the African clothing culture and how we practice\nsustainability\, prompting participants to consider the origins and impacts of their clothing\nand where they end up. \nOur Vision\n\nAn opportunity to unlearn fast fashion practices and share the knowledge and\ncreative skills to repair and upcycle our clothing to promote a culture of mending.\nAn educational session that enriches our minds on the reality of the environmental\nand social impacts of the fashion industry in the African region\, to gain a deeper\nunderstanding of how we can embrace sustainable clothing choices and\nconsumption habits.\nThe creation of a collaborative space that spans across Africa where we can\nexchange knowledge and history\, and share clothing solutions we can work\ntowards.\n\nAbout Tengeneza Café\nTengeneza Café is an initiative by Chemitei Janet that was born from a desire to connect\nconscious citizens who are curious and passionate about the joy of repairing to heal our\nclothing relationships. When we repair\, we value the act of care\, and slowing down our\nconsumption. Tengeneza Café seeks collaborations within Kenya and beyond\, exploring\nopportunities such as film screenings and workshops to strengthen a #LovedClothesLast\ncommunity.
