CAFÉ BRICOLAGE

Café Bricolage

Café Bricolage is a space for conversations about bricolage across different contexts. I created it to connect with like-minded people who are curious about this phenomenon, and to talk with researchers, and with anyone interested in the concept.

Please don’t ask me what bricolage is. I have been trying to answer that question every single day for the last seven years, and my current view is that it may be an incorrectly asked question. Still, it is a good enough question to start a conversation, and to keep one going.

And do stay until the very end of each episode. We tuck a little surprise into the credits: an unscripted, behind-the-scenes moment we simply could not bring ourselves to cut. It is improvised, slightly chaotic, and usually rather funny, which is precisely the point: bricolage caught in the act.

So let’s talk. Let’s ask: what is bricolage? Subscribe, drop me an email, and get in touch. I would love to hear from you.
