The motivation for repairing is also based on the awareness that the technologies are produced under ecologically harmful and socially inhumane conditions and are disposed of in an equally ecologically and socially unacceptable way after use. <\/p>\n<p>As part of a qualitative study, Dr. Sigrid Kannengie\u00dfer examined various repair caf\u00e9s, including the Oldenburg Repair Caf\u00e9 and the &#8220;Raum f\u00fcr Reparatur&#8221; (Space for Repair) by Leipzig artist Hannes Waldsch\u00fctz (financed by the Edith-Russ-Haus) in Oldenburg. In doing so, she investigated the questions of who the actors are who repair their media technologies, what motivation underlies repairing and what this action means for a sustainable approach to media technologies in a mediatized society. <\/p>\n<p>Following the lecture, the <a href=\"http:\/\/repaircafeoldenburg.org\/wordpress\/\">Oldenburg Repair Caf\u00e9<\/a> will introduce itself, an initiative of various actors that has been helping people to repair their appliances, clothes and other things for two years with the help of numerous volunteers. It currently takes place every month on the 1st Saturday in the rooms of the Oldenburg State Theater in Baumgartenstr. 11-12 instead.<\/p>\n<p>Venue: Seminar room of the Edith-Russ-Haus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"event-format":[99],"class_list":["post-7434","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","event-format-lecture"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/7434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-format?post=7434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
