Australian Design Centre is hosting a ground-breaking design event, an auction of creatively repaired broken objects.

A selection of emerging and leading Australian artists, designers and craftspeople from Sydney and the Illawarra were commissioned to reinterpret these objects using innovative approaches to repair and reuse. The objects were provided by notable climate change activists, creatives and champions of design.

A selection of works from the project will be auctioned.
