-Creating An Awareness Of Ecology Through Arts- A part of UNFIX festival! This is The 5th Season of UNFIX NYC!!! We will gather together to create an awareness of ecology through arts! Please join us to be a part of this exciting festival this May!
This festival aims to raise ecological awareness through arts. What is 'ecology'? Ecology is the relations between all living beings on this planet, and its study. How we can live without destroying, harming, and hurting each other. The world is not a 'fix'ed place. The world is continuously changing; evolving; we are changing. UNFIX is a festival for performance and ecological activism based in Scotland. It founded by the artistic director Paul Michael Henry (www.paulmichaelhenry.com) in 2015. UNFIX seeks to meet Ecological crisis and renewal through our bodies and physical sense of living. UNFIX NYC is a collaboration between UNFIX and Ren Gyo Soh.

I believe in the power of love, the power of art and in what art can do for all living beings, for the land we live in, and for future generations. We can be the change we want to see in the world. And I would love to collaborate with as many artists as possible. I am honored to be the host of this festival, and blessed to work with UNFIX Festival (Paul Michael Henry) and The Grace & St. Paul's Church, and my team (Rui Dun, The associate Producer & Robin Dill, The technical Director), I also would love to thank to especially Martin Hauser, the pastor of Grace & St. Paul's Church for giving his love to offer the space for this festival.
