Description:
A series of friendly interventions designed to interact with the urban ladscape of Halifax in a manner that would elicit reflections, considerations, and ideas that would challenge or expand the usual geo-psychological set of notions guiding the habitual activities of people in the public sphere. Gizmos, pamphlets, "Sorry" bricks and "Sorry" flags were used to highlight contested cultural and historic sites around Halifax.

History:
The event took place from July 7-17, 2002
