Brokenness and Repair Podcast

The world feels broken. But what if this brokenness is something that brings us together, deepens our feelings of care for each other, and allows us to connect with something profound within ourselves? What if brokenness can even be beautiful? This podcast is about opening up the conversation on brokenness and the ways we attend to it through acts of repair. It takes special inspiration from Japanese culture, exploring how the aesthetics of imperfection and fragility of everyday life resonate more broadly. In each episode, we bring together two people who are each grappling with ideas of brokenness & repair in their work, from different perspectives, including anthropology, philosophy, psychoanalysis, literature, art, geography and theology.
