CARETAKERS explores repair and care as aesthetic, social, and emotional practices. The format combines an exhibition, workshops, and performative actions, inviting visitors to experience repair and care on multiple levels.

The exhibition presents objects, garments, and works by international artists and designers, all exploring transformation, materiality, and craftsmanship. Through clothing, everyday items, damaged objects, or seemingly useless materials, it becomes evident how careful handling, repair, and creative interventions can give objects new value and form. CARETAKERS demonstrates how attentive care and appreciation for materials create new possibilities and offer a meaningful counterpoint to throwaway culture, rapid consumption, and the arbitrariness of contemporary production.

During the exhibition, creatives from various disciplines will share performative insights into their processes. In workshops, visitors can actively participate under the guidance of artists and craftspeople, experimenting with “care” techniques and learning how objects can be restored, made functional, or imbued with renewed significance through attentive intervention.

CARETAKERS is a curated format, initiated by fashion designer Johanna Perret (formerly Perret Schaad) and co-curated with gallery director Maj van der Linden.
