[Themaintainers] Invitation to Guide a Discussion on Maintenance, Repair, and Energy Futures - Submission of Interest, 5th Feb, 2026

[Repair Cafe Collective India]

Hello everyone,

Greetings from *The Maintainers <https://themaintainers.org/>*.

We have been invited by the *Energy Futures Research Group* at *Universidad
de los Andes*, Bogotá, Colombia. We are looking for researchers,
enthusiasts, practitioners, and scholars who can help us think through the
topic from a *practical, real-world perspective* on any of the following:

– Maintenance and repair as political practices in contexts of
infrastructural crisis
– How breakdown, care, and endurance challenge dominant narratives of
progress and transition
– The implications of maintenance-centered thinking for how we imagine
energy futures beyond constant expansion and growth

The session will take place online on *February 5, 2026*, from *11:00
am–12:00 noon (Colombia Time)*.

If you are suitable and available to attend, kindly respond here
<https://forms.gle/tnxVu3jCcQ2RJXhDA>, *briefly explaining why you are
interested and how you would be suitable to guide this discussion.*

Warm regards,
*Purna*
(on behalf of The Maintainers Steering Committee)
