A slowLab blog to enable Slow dialogues on the occasion of Platform21=Repairing in Amsterdam (NL).

Here we address how Slow Design can help re-imagine consumption behaviors, social collaboration scenarios, and systemic transitions to more sustainable futures.

Use this blog to contribute YOUR Slow Repair ideas and questions. They will be posted into the Platform21 exhibition space in Amsterdam through 30 August 2009.

The next Slow Repair Dialogue takes place this Friday evening 19 June 2009 from 18.30 to 20.30 at Platform21:

19 June: SLOW TRANSITIONS > Re-thinking Systems

Restoring sustainable practices... Envisioning new local landscapes... Systems level strategies for relocating human values and transitioning to sustainability... and more!

We've thought it wise to expand the SLOW TRANSITIONS conversation to be inclusive of a major project opening in Den Haag next week, 'FOODPRINT. Food for the City' at Stroom Den Haag. slowLab network member Debra Solomon of culiblog will present work alongside an esteemed international group in this project focusing on "crucial moments relating to food, food production and the city." An all-day symposium on Friday 26 June will take an indepth look at the roles food can play in the design of sustainable cities, while an exhibition running from 27 June to 23 August explores this topic through the work of artists and designers.

In addition to our 19 June Slow Dialogue, slowLab has added an extra SLOW TRANSITIONS session featuring FOODPRINT contributing artist Debra Solomon on Sunday afternoon 28 June 2009 at the culiblog Experimental Garden in Amsterdam Noord. Take the Buikslotermeer ferry from behind Centraal Station and walk on for 1 minute. The dialogue begins at 15.00. Transition Tea will be served :)

To participate, you must email to RESERVE a space: info[at]slowlab.net. Light refreshments served at both.
