Catalyst artist Beatriz de Rijke and repair researcher Josephine van Schendel guide you into garment remodelling and repair, giving your pieces a second, third, or even fourth life.

This RR Studio, we meet up in a cosy mess-positive capsule where your clothes can finally transcend their stuckness. Bring your beloved clothes. The ones that are damaged, torn, full of holes, and memories. The clothes that wobble your body shape, have lost their magic, or are simply too precious to throw away. Together we will grant them a new chapter.

Next, this mess-positive afternoon also (!) welcomes a guided clothing swap hosted by Charity Swap Shop - a clothes swap initiative from Peckham, London. Let’s take the day and the space to reinvent consumer culture, and play with the magic of circulation.

Mess-Positive will intuitively explore repair recipes developed by different artists throughout Josephine’s ongoing artistic research program Reparatie Remise. These rich recipes serve as a guide and starting point for transforming your piece.

We welcome you on a walk-in basis, so come as soon as you feel ready!
