Staging A Sleep-In (Or, Rather, A Sleep-Out)

This weekend in Toronto, two “multimedia artists are staging Z’s By The C, a ‘radical crafting and public napping project,’ wherein people will be invited to decorate their own sleeping masks and then be given access to a ‘safe sleeping zone’ in an undeveloped patch of grass.” Says one of the artists, “‘We started doing this in Calgary, in 2008, and at first it was sort of terrifying for people, even though we provide a safe area for them.”
