***EST below***Conference "Sustainability in Practice: DIY Repair, Reuse and Innovation" takes place on 30 October – 2 November 2024 in the Estonian National Museum.
This conference addresses ecological sustainability through do it yourself (DIY) practices, and through consumer behaviour. The focus on DIY repair, reuse and vernacular innovation seeks to examine sustainability in the context of everyday life and domestic and community settings. By bringing together ethnological, anthropological, sociological and craft studies perspectives, the conference aims to show and discuss contemporary, traditional and vernacular sustainable practices.
Repair, reuse and repurpose of diverse commodities and materials, and vernacular innovation, are today increasingly perceived as part of sustainable consumption culture. However, the role and meaning of these practices have changed over time, depending on social, economic and political environments. Facing the global climate crisis, we are looking for lessons from the past and present for more sustainable and resilient ways of life.
The conference is being organised by the Estonian National Museum in collaboration with the Washing Machine Made of Beetroot joint exhibition project, curated by the Estonian Road Museum, the Estonian Agricultural Museum, and the Tartu City Museum. The conference and the Washing Machine Made of Beetroot joint exhibition project are a part of the European Capital of Culture Tartu 2024 main programme.

Konverents „Jätkusuutlikkus praktikas: isetegemine, parandamine, taaskasutus ja innovatsioon“ toimub 30.10.–2.11.2024 Eesti Rahva Muuseumis.
Rahvusvaheline konverents heidab valgust parandamisele, taaskasutusele ja argisele leiutamisele nii minevikus kui ka tänapäeval. Isetegemise tähendus on aja jooksul ja konteksti mõttes palju muutunud. Kaasajal on kodune parandamine, taaskasutus ja leiutamine aina enam osaks jätkusuutlikust tarbimiskultuurist. Konverentsil otsime kliimakriisi vaates jätkusuutlikuma tarbimise võimalusi, mis aitaks kaasa kestlikuma tuleviku loomisele.
Konverentsi töökeel on inglise keel.
Konverentsi korraldab Eesti Rahva Muuseumi koostöös näituseprojektiga „Peedist pesumasin“, mida kureerivad Eesti Maanteemuuseum, Eesti Põllumajandusmuuseum ja Tartu Linnamuuseum. Konverents ja näituseprojekt Peedist Pesumasin on osa Euroopa kultuuripealinn Tartu 2024 põhiprogrammist.
