Transformative Repair is an exhibition that brings together emerging and established Australian artists, designers and craftspeople to reinterpret broken objects, using innovative approaches to repair and reuse.

Featuring leading practitioners across disciplines, the project showcases how new models for the sustainable use of materials and products can establish new opportunities for consumers and collectors through the thoughtful repair of their broken things.
