UNFIX NYC 2024
:creating an awareness of Ecology Through Arts
This year is the 8th season of UNFIX NYC, and we will have an in-person festival on Saturday, May 4, 2024 at Grace & St. Paul's Church! Let's get together to create an awareness of ecology! Our theme this year is "Disturbance." Disruptions to our social and ecological systems can have profound effects, from the catastrophic to the regenerative. How have disturbances affected your life and your relationship with your community and the natural environment? Can we be sensitive to disturbance and also resilient in response?

What is UNFIX NYC ?
UNFIX NYC is a collaboration between UNFIX and RenGyoSoh.
UNFIX NYC seeks to meet Ecological crisis and renewal through our Bodies, Minds & Souls: Dance, Theatre, Performance, music, film, visual arts, panel discussions, and any arts forms.
UNFIX is a festival for performance and ecological activism based in Scotland. Founded by artistic director Paul Michael Henry. UNFIX conceives human lives as a microcosm of the whole, and puts it to you: climate change & ecological transformation are happening inside your very body, RIGHT NOW. Yokko, the artistic director of RenGyoSoh, was inspired by these ideas to bring a version of the festival to New York City as RenGyoSoh's annual festival. The first UNFIX NYC was held at Grace & St. Paul's Church in April 26th 2016

Note from the artistic director of UNFIX NYC

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, we are changing, we are all living beings. 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 people as possible. I am honored to be the host of this festival, and blessed to work with UNFIX Festival (Paul Michael Henry).
