Seed of Support

💗 Support the Future of Unity Consciousness Arts Festival Help us continue creating a space for art, healing, connection, and love. Unity Consciousness Arts Festival is an experimental interdisciplinary arts festival founded in Vancouver in 2025 by artists and life partners Sammy &amp; Caroline Chien-MacCaull, presented by Chimerik 似不像. The festival began from a deeply personal journey. In a time when our world can feel increasingly divided &mdash; politically, culturally, socially and spiritually &mdash; we wanted to ask a simple question:What happens when, instead of feeding fear and separation, we intentionally create space for love, curiosity, healing and connection? As artists, we often physicalize abstract ideas onstage. With Unity Consciousness, we wanted to take those ideas beyond the stage and into real life &mdash; creating a gathering where art itself could become a spiritual practice, a form of collective reflection, and a way of remembering our interconnectedness. The first festival grew alongside our own journey of healing, partnership and marriage. What began as something personal quickly became something much larger: a shared space where artists, families, elders, children and community members could gather, witness one another, experiment, celebrate, and imagine different ways of being together. ✨ What is Unity Consciousness Arts Festival?We exists somewhere between an arts festival, exhibition, experimental performance gathering, salon, spiritual cabaret and shared ritual.&nbsp;Rather than asking audiences simply to sit quietly and consume a finished performance, we are interested in creating environments where people can witness, feel, reflect, move, connect and participate in a shared experience. The founding festival brought together ancestral and contemporary practices through:contemporary dance &bull; interdisciplinary performance &bull; performance art &bull; video art &bull; painting &bull; sculpture &bull; interactive installation &bull; VR and digital technology &bull; experimental sound &bull; noise music &bull; Indigenous music &bull; Inuit throat singing &bull; drumming &bull; movement-responsive technology &bull; ritual &bull; durational work &bull; intergenerational and intercultural collaborations 🌱 Our Founding FestivalThe inaugural Unity Consciousness Arts Festival took place June 29&ndash;July 1, 2025 at the Roundhouse Community Arts Centre in Vancouver, bringing together artists across disciplines, cultures, generations and artistic practices. Founding festival artists and collaborators included:Savage &amp; Samuelle; Sophie Dow &amp; Mohammed Rashead; Claire French &amp; James Maxwell; Starr Muranko &amp; Sami Qhapac Alvarez; Ezequiel Peralta &amp; Rachel Helten / soma anima arts; Kuliktana x RITUAL PURIFICATION; Ana Sosa &amp; Matt Emmings; Michael Caldwell; Andrea Nann; Michael Caldwell &amp; Louis Laberge-C&ocirc;t&eacute;; Andrea Nann &amp; Andy Maize; Giorgio Magnanensi; Julie Chang 張筑雅; TildArt; Ove Holmqvist &amp; Liliana Salazar; Ruby Singh &amp; John Desoneyers-Stewart; Jackson Chien 簡志雄 &amp; Yu-Min Tseng 曾郁敏; Corporeal Imago; Modern Biology Their works moved between intimate dance duets, experimental sound, noise music, Indigenous and intergenerational practices, throat singing, interactive technology, ritual, visual art and interdisciplinary performance. We remain incredibly grateful to every artist who trusted this unusual experiment and helped make its first manifestation possible. 💞 Why We Need Your SupportThe first edition of Unity Consciousness was created without public arts funding.Arts funding has become increasingly competitive and uncertain, while the real costs of fairly paying artists, technicians, venues and production teams continue to rise.We want Unity Consciousness to continue &mdash; and we want to build it in a way that honours the people who make it possible.Funds raised through this campaign will support future editions of the festival, with a priority on paying participating artists and supporting the direct costs required to present their work.Your contribution helps us create a platform where experimental ideas can take risks, interdisciplinary artists can meet across communities, underrepresented voices can be centred, and audiences can encounter art in ways that are intimate, curious and human. 🌸 Become a Friend of the FestivalEvery contribution matters.By donating through this page, you are helping us plant the seeds for the next edition of Unity Consciousness Arts Festival.Festival donors will be acknowledged as Friends of the Festival / Festival Supporters for the upcoming edition, unless you prefer to remain anonymous. Whether you contribute $10, $50, $100 or more, your support becomes part of the collective energy that allows this festival to exist. For us, Unity Consciousness has never been about creating the biggest festival. It is about creating something meaningful.Something generous.
