Think of your favorite board game. Maybe it's chess? Or Clue? Or Hungry Hungry Hippos? Now imagine it brought to life. No more fighting over who gets to be the battleship or the dog - in the case of Monopoly - because you and your friends are the pieces. And it's your city's public spaces that form the board.

Gentrification: The Game! - created by the artist collective Atmosphere Industries - recently took over Toronto's Kensington Market as part of Pedestrian Sundays. For this SUMMER SHORT, reporter Andrew Walsh brings us the sounds of the game, while producer Mieke Anderson catches up with one of the game's creators, David Fono, to talk about the importance of public play-time and tackling the subject of gentrification.

Note: Atmosphere Industries invites anyone interested in exploring making big/public-space games of their own to get in touch!

Have you ever taken a nap in public? Or have you only ever dreamed of it?

Z's by the C is a public napping project - created by Calgary-based artists Eric Moschopedis and Mia Rushton - that strives to legitimize taking a snooze in public. The project is a reaction to the increasing privatization of our public spaces, including the implementation of by-laws banning loitering and curtailing who, how, and when we are allowed to use our spaces.

Since its inception in 2008, Moschopedis and Rushton have been encouraging people to nap in Zürich, New York City, Ottawa and Calgary. Spacing producer Mieke Anderson caught up with Moschopedis this past weekend when Z's by the C took over a proposed park in Toronto's west-end.

Note: Z’s by the C got a permit to host the event.
