Prompt 12: Sitting on reuse

Hosting a work session also means to care for people, such as preparing a space that can accommodate different needs and desires of participants coming to do the work of Revisiting 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 fluo-colours.

This prompt does not only support you by softening your sitting on hard wooden chairs, it also makes the license documents much more tangible and less abstract.

The layered presence of the bright coloured and printed paragraphs allows for new discoveries and connections, while the persistence and heaviness of this bodily being "in touch” adds some pressure to the urgency of revisiting reuse.
