ART & ACTIVISM Come Unity was built by dreamers and free thinkers alike in order to lend a hand to those who felt the need for positive change in their community. Made up of a collective of individuals that seamlessly fit the saying of “For The People, By The People,” and one that truly exemplifies that mantra. Come Unity is a registered not for profit organization established in 2009, looking to build strong foundations with other like-minded thinkers, as well as Toronto’s ever growing arts community. In order to do this, Come Unity wishes to source various collaborative opportunities by helping to fund, create and promote various educational workshops, vendors markets, performances and mutual efforts within and around the community. Think of Come Unity as the foundation, the tree looking to support various branches, branches representing but not limited to, poetry, art, awareness and activism. Our mission is one directed toward positive change, both on an individual and community wide basis. By providing essential and artistic resources to its community members, our focus on instilling unity, confidence and hope can be achieved by all those involved.

words by saul williams:

“Callin out to the girls

The inventors of worlds

The intelligence of relevance 

And elegant pearls”

The Art of Storytelling...

Two traveling monks reached a river where they met a young woman. Wary of the current, she asked if they could carry her across. One of the monks hesitated, but the other quickly picked her up onto his shoulders, transported her across the water, and put her down on the other bank. She thanked him and departed.

As the monks continued on their way, the one was brooding and preoccupied. Unable to hold his silence, he spoke out. "Brother, our spiritual training teaches us to avoid any contact with women, but you picked that one up on your shoulders and carried her!"

"Brother," the second monk replied, "I set her down on the other side, while you are still carrying her."

Lesson: The practice of one's belief is more important than rigid adherence to a belief in one's practice.
