Radical Mending: Mending Basics

Jane Addams Hull-House Museum(JAHHM)draws upon the legacy of international peace activist and feminist, Jane Addams, and other social reformers who worked, alongside their immigrant neighbors, to create social change on the Near West Side of Chicago during the Progressive Era. The Museum preserves and develops the original Hull-House site for the interpretation and continuation of the historic settlement house vision. Exhibitions and public programs elevate histories of activism, progressive education and democratic principles of participation and exchange, and connect them to present-day social justice issues.

As a part of programming for the exhibition Radical Craft: Arts Education at Hull-House 1889-1935, the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum is partnering with The WasteShed to present their event series, “Radical Mending”. This includes “Mending Basics”: a series of workshops designed to build and develop basic sewing skills and promote the importance of sustainable fashion. The workshops will provide materials for mending and be led by experts in garment and textile repair.The goal of these workshops is to foster space for connection, to encourage sustainable everyday practices, and to educate one another in the history of the garment industry both past and present. This series will take place in the Residents’ Dining Hall at the Hull-House Museum. The cost of admission includes materials and a meal.
