re:pair FESTIVAL Wien 2025
Everyone's talking about the climate - we'll repair it!
Repair is a powerful tool for tackling the climate crisis and contributing to the circular economy.
The fourth edition of the re:pair FESTIVAL will take place from October 13 to 31, 2025, at Atelier Augarten. The new festival headquarters is the ideal venue for exploring our relationship with nature under the motto “Paradise Lost.” With over 120 events, the program offers an exciting mix of practice and theory. A wide range of workshops teach creative skills and the joy of independent repair.
Two workshops will take place as part of the re:pair FESTIVAL in cooperation with the Vienna Business Agency.
Further information can be found here. Tickets for the creative workshops can be found here.

Sashiko-Workshop with Karin Altmann and Walter Bruno Brix
Sashiko is a Japanese mending and embroidery technique that embodies sustainability in practice. Although it has evolved in Japan from a simple repair technique to a complex pattern technique, this hands-on workshop is not about technical perfection, but about the joy of repairing things yourself. Bring along any clothes or textiles that you are fond of and that need repairing.
25 October 3 - 6 pm
MIX & MATCH – Upcycling fabrics and clothes with color with Barbara Wendt
Vibrant colors, bold patterns, and playful shapes and contrasts: in this upcycling workshop, clothing fabrics are graphically enhanced using simple methods. Whether with a brush, hand-carved stamps, or bright orange thread, turn an ordinary shirt into a unique favorite!
