Take part in PLAY:REPAIR:REPEAT and become part of the repair revolution! The art of repair has a long tradition in many cultures. While throwing things away is often seen as a sign of modernity, we are committed to rediscovering the value and beauty of restoration.
From 2024, EU citizens will have the right to repair the products they buy – a major step towards sustainable consumption that we want to put into practice by 2026. Together, we want to decide against the throwaway society and make repairing cool again! The area of gaming and gaming culture is particularly close to our hearts. Due to our permanent exhibition »ZKM_gameplay.the next level«, we have developed some expertise in this area and are therefore more than happy to invite you to the PLAY:REPAIR:REPEAT workshop at ZKM | Hertzlab! Here you can expect exciting conversations, relaxed music and a convivial atmosphere while we try our hand together at your broken retro consoles, controllers or gaming mice. Bring your treasures – even if everything works perfectly, we'd still love to see you and celebrate the circular economy together!
Discover some of our special gameplay collectibles that will be playable on the day. Let's discuss together how we can keep media art alive and what transformative power the right to repair holds for our society. Together we will create a community that makes recycling and repairing an inspiring and exciting experience!
Join us – let's repair, celebrate and shape the future together!

The event will take place in the new Hertzlab (2nd floor above Atrium 9). The best way to reach us is via the staircase inside the exhibition »BLACK FLAGS« (Atria 8+9). Just follow the signs and pink markings.
