"Reuse-it" is an artistic project that keeps Ghent's cultural heritage alive by transforming original works from the
Collectie van de Gentenaar archive into digital drawings.
Through meticulous digitization, we pay homage to the original creator while adding our own
creative flair to each piece. Our aim is not only to create an aesthetically pleasing work of art,
but also to preserve and perpetuate Ghent's cultural identity and history.
To make these digital drawings accessible to a wider audience, we have created an open database where anyone can access and reuse these images. Inspired by the Collectie van de Gentenaar archive, illustrations in vector format are available for free download, so that everyone can explore this cultural heritage in new and innovative ways, create graphic designs and combine them with fashion or decor. "reuse-it" empowers people to use and reuse images with their own interpretation and share this back with the community.
Through "reuse-it" we hope to inspire a renewed appreciation of Ghent's cultural heritage and connect people with its unique identity. By bringing the past and present together, we hope to create a more vibrant and diverse cultural landscape for the future.
