Make or Break performs an “award service” live, engraving personalised medallions and trophies made from rescued materials to celebrate minor moments of INVISIBLE LABOURS OF LOVE, underpaid work and other inconsequential moments.

The first iteration of this project was for after pARTY, a themed club night at Freda’s curated by Anna May Kirk and Nerida Ross. Make or Break circulated forms for people to nominate loved ones’ invisible labours of love. Trophies were custom engraved live on stage, and presented during a continuous joyous ceremony on the night.
