Project Humanity’s Shirts Off! Spring On!
A trio of artists talk about their non-profit organization’s second annual clothing drive. Project Humanity took over Archeo Trattoria in the Distillery District for an evening of music, dance, poetry and theatre with the organization’s talented pool of artists. People cleaned out their closets and made piles and piles of garbage bags stuffed with clothes. That week, the clothes were delivered directly to those in need at various shelters and drop-in centres in Toronto.
Good job, guys!

DiverCITY #6: Cool Drummings Festival & the Brazilian Carnival Ball

All kinds of percussion got together for some of the weirdest and most beautiful classical mashups. Then we head to the Brazilian Carnival Ball, where papaya shrimp boats, painted bodies on parade and sincere tributes helped raise 22 million dollars for one special night.
