Apathy Rehabilitation Place by City Repair

When the world seems sour and as if ‘Hope’ was a joke that stopped being funny a long time ago, it can become a wildly radical act to enjoy one’s life, to celebrate, seek inspiration and to laugh.
Let it be known, that The City Repair Project is inviting you to play.
From March 4th to the 28th SEA Change shall officially become
The Apathy Rehabilitation Place.
