Repair zine

[james]

What a great idea Zac!

At Fixfest in Brussels the other week, Linn from the German Repair Café network Anstiftung presented their repair zine called ‘Splitter’.

They’ve been running it for years now, and we first learned about it at Fixfest in 2019. Here are the notes Janet took back then:

Anstiftung support approximatelly 800 repair communities. The zine documents the diversity of community repair groups across the countries. The name ‘SPLITTER’ refer to small particles that appear when something is broken. The magazine is published on the website and it can be easily printed. Each page of the magazine act on its own and so the group can choose to print one page and not other and produce posters. The document is in black and white so it can easily be printed in coloured paper. The magazine feature quizzes, reflective exercises and comics. The magazine also include stories reflecting upon global issues; the history of repair etc.

They publish editions on their site here, though obviously it’s in German:

SPLiTTER | Netzwerk Reparatur-Initiativen | Netzwerk Reparatur-Initiativen

Worth a look for some inspiration though
