Collective Commitments to Reuse (CC2r)
“Collective Commitment to Reuse (CC2r)” makes a shift from condition to commitment, which was proposed during the work session “Revisit Reuse” as an attempt to call for a commitment to practising in solidarity rather than relying on legal frameworks such as licences. This shift from conditions to commitment meant that we reformulated CC4r from a legal tool, with all its promises and problems, into a process, as “a ground from where to commit to” as Castillo, one of the participants in the session, formulated it.

CC2r Process Log
2019–20
Collective Conditions for Reuse (CC4r) has been kicked off during the Authors of the Futures study day organised by Constant in Brussels, 2019. It has been further developed during the Constant work session Unbound Libraries and released in 2020.
2023–24
Revisit Reuse (May 2024). After five years in use, it was time to revisit this the CC4r and the decolonial feminist practices of reuse it advocates. What followed was a range of experimental, practice-based and collective research methods and activities that extended our understandings and practices of decolonial feminist sharing and reuse leading us to organize the worksession Revisit Reuse.
The space and the exhibition in Brussels are designed in collaboration with artist flo*souad benaddi and includes a series of prompts by Erri Ammonita, Bye Bye Binary, Séverine Dusollier, Andrea Francke, Gary Hall, Jennifer Hayashida, Cathryn Klasto, Nkule Mabaso, Nicolas Malevé, Dubravka Sekulić, Winnie Soon, Christopher Ba Thi Nguyen, Marloes de Valk and Stephen Wright. You will also find a collection of cases that show the complexities of reuse, and a library of materials published under the Collective Conditions for Reuse (CC4r), in collaboration with Constant. Revisitors who responded to the prompts and cases and produced a rewritten draft include Flo*Souad Benaddi, Clara Bougon, Castillo, Sarah Magnan, Chae Kim, Cathryn Klasto, Gerrie van Noord, Femke Snelting, Litó Walkey, Eva Weinmayr.
