a.p.'s Summer Season comprises of talks, readings, and performances concerned with recreation: a term that refers both to leisure activities (think cookery, interiors, music, fashion, and dance to name but a few) and their reproduction (which is also their subversion). It took place at a.p. books, the sister bookstore of Callie's Berlin, in Summer 2023.
