P-Prompt: Spaces for discomfort - Honesty

We started to think with Winnie Soon of this prompt because of their work with Lee Tzu-Tung on queering contractual hierarchies and appropriation gestures, and also their energetic participation in the Open Source publishing community through projects such as Servpub and Aesthetic Programming (with Geoff Cox). Their concern is how to open up space for making concrete the kinds of discomforts that practices of reuse might produce, both when sharing materials, as well as when reusing materials by others.

Winnie explains us that as an artist and academic who often works with grassroots communities and precarious cultural practitioners both in Europe and Asia, they have ongoing discussions about the discomfort of Free and Open Source licensing.
