Prompt 12: Sitting on reuse

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 consists in the experience of a softening while sitting on hard wooden chairs. It also renders the licence documents more tangible and less abstract. What kind of discoveries and connections are possible through the bodily experience of "being in touch"? When your bum or back touches and is being touched at the same time?
