Overview
Fixers’ Collective NYC is a group of folks dedicated to working together to fix things – encouraging improvisational fixing and mending and fighting planned obsolescence. FC began as a part of the Mend exhibit at Proteus Gowanus in Brooklyn, and continues as a Project In Residence at Proteus.
We meet regularly for “fixing sessions” where people bring in something broken and we work together to try to fix it or creatively reuse it as something else. Our group includes “Master Fixers” who have a lot of knowledge and experience in fixing, apprentices who are looking to learn, and drop in visitors who come to fix socially or see what we’re up to.
