You can never have too much care...
Hello. Nice to meet you!
A Repair Manual: DOWNLOAD
This manual aims to forge, highlight and map new connections between disparate acts of repair cantered around the body.
The juxtaposition of story and image can re-contextualise our understanding of repair. Giving emphasis to smaller, sometimes unnoticed, practices of care, we can then comprehend the inherent neglect that often co-exists within.

This project explores the value of collaboration through personal and intimate conversations. These conversations have been recorded as content for a podcast titled 'The Kinship Podcast'. Through the iterative process of; being with one another, talking, transcribing, reading, editing and reforming, this publication has grown organically. Taking inspiration from Kenneth Goldsmith's 'Uncreative Writing: Managing Language in the Digital Age' (2011), we have cut and 'patched' our podcast content and writing together to 'weave' the texts.
We have chosen to approach writing as a component part of our design practices. By concentrating on process, we can explore the fluidity and granularity of language unbound, as to perpetuate our collaboration into the future. You may find, as you read, individual threads cross and overlap, and connections can be made between the fragments of the materialised stream of consciousness that conversations often can be.
This is a fully collaborative document, which will continue to expand over time. The lines of authorship are blurred. What we seek to 'design' is a conversational framework, and a podcast platform to extend our 'kinship' and beyond...
