Hosting a work session means to care for people, for example when preparing a space that can accommodate different needs and desires of participants coming to do the work to Revisit Reuse. We invited artist Flo*Souad Benaddi to develop situated spatial interventions that could support the working group in this task.

Flo*Souad sow a set of cushions from reclaimed fabrics that he screen printed with layers of CC4r, Free Art Licence and other conditional documents in bright fluo-colours. This prompt proposes a bodily experience of "being in touch" through the experience of a softening while sitting on hard wooden chairs. It also renders the license documents more tangible and less abstract.

What kind of discoveries and connections are possible through sitting on reuse? What happens when your bum or back touches and is being touched by it at the same time?
