artwork entitled The Apology Project.

Scotiabank Nuit Blanche, currently in its fourth year, is a free all night contemporary art

The Apology Project requires a cluster of 55 people to wear large brown paper bags over their

through them. This human blockade will disrupt the regular flow of traffic.
