National UNITY Day is a celebration of seven Canadian communities – Calgary, Winnipeg, Montréal, Vancouver, Halifax, Fort MacMurray and Toronto – coming together to create space for youth to tell their stories through artistic expression. The slogan for the day is ‘What speaks to you?’ How are you creating positive space, sense of social belonging, and artistic expression in your community? 

The 2013 UNITY Festival will be held from July 18 – July 21 at various locations in Toronto, featuring all aspects of urban dance. To learn more, visit the UNITY charity website. Follow on Twitter #unityfestival

Caribana is Our Stage

Themes of becoming, shaping from and returning to are central to Caribbean performance arts. As one of these art forms, Carnival is a nuanced performance art practice rooted in the cultural memory of the lives of Caribbean peoples throughout Canada and the diaspora. But whose story is told (or not told) and in what context? The telling or omission of stories can be traced to a lack of understanding of the complexity of the Caribbean and its Carnival – a performance tradition that is more than the mass commodification, sexuality and “loud music” we often associate it with.
