Repair Road Show
during theatre festival Karavaan in Schagen
- 26 July 09...26 July 09
Last century a ‘bite’ was taken out of the dike connecting Schagen and Stolpen in order to make way for a canal and a road. Unfortunately this also means that a connection for cyclists and walkers is still missing.
Art and Culture Noord-Holland called on designers and the public to come up with new ideas how this ‘Hole of Schagen’ can be fixed. The winner of this design contest will be announced on Saturday 26 July in the City Hall of Schagen. The Repair Road Show will be right outside to demonstrate more good fixing ideas. That day, travelling theatre festival Karavaan will be in town as well.
Karavaan doesn’t take you to the plush of the theatre. Here you stand in the clay of the fields, sit in an old hangar, are driven around in a Chevrolet Caprice or take a seat on old church benches. This is exactly what makes Karavaan so exciting and so much fun. For more information on the contest and the festival go to www.westfrieseomringdijk.nl en www.karavaan.nl.
This summer Platform21 travels the country with the Repair Road Show. With our Repair Mobile we will be present at various festivals and events throughout the Netherlands. The Repair Team executes quick fixes on all sorts of broken things that can be found on festivals: from ripped bags, belts and other garments to picnic blankets and broken tent-poles.
Meanwhile we tell you about the Repair Manifesto and the Most Remarkable Repair Contest. With the Repair Road Show we want to enthuse even more people about repairing and give many more products in this country a longer life.
