Unit 2 hasn't added a story.
Unit 2 is a community event and art space situated between Parkdale and the Junction. We have been active in the Toronto music and cultural world for over eight years, as an informal group of friends that has hosted book launches, touring bands, art shows and kids dance parties, to name a few. Unit 2 is responsive to the needs of BIPOC, two-spirit, trans, queer communities and friends. We prioritize supporting projects that have limited institutional support and would benefit from grassroots support and our do-it-together praxis.
We are working to expand and develop our infrastructure. This will allow us tap into major structural changes happening in the local environment, protect this space from any outside interference and better equip us to serve our community.
To that end, we need to build capacity and renovate this space for the first time in our fifteen years here. This process includes physical changes, like soundproofing and altering the kitchen to improve accessibility, as well as investing in A/V equipment and furniture. With your help, we will be able to diversify the types of projects that we can support at Unit 2 as well as improve our abilities to keep on doing the work we’ve been doing from the beginning.
Please help out how you can, whether that means monies, spreading the word through your networks or both. We want this to become a beast of a community hub where people marginalized in this city and from beyond can find connection and a way forward. Looking out for each other, there is nothing we can't do. The more you're able to support the space and programming happening at Unit 2, the more we're able to give back.

Bio: As a woman with a disability, Jordyn has always felt compelled to use her work as a means of challenging societal notions of disability and autonomy. She uses her practice as an artist to argue that the disabled body shouldn't be considered a failure but rather an example of how the human body is capable of functioning under incredibly diverse circumstances. Her work focuses on themes relating to bodily integrity and chronic illness, and in particular, the challenge that comes with maintaining one while navigating the other.

Theatre Passe Muraille + Buddies in Bad Times
For years, Zaya has balanced his relationship with religion and his queer identity; but as secrets from the past reveal themselves, and crisis strikes his family, he is torn between loyalties, culture, and time. Acha Bacha boldly explores the intersections between queerness, gender identity, and Islamic culture in the Pakistani diaspora. It is a show about the way we love, the way we are loved, and how sometimes love is not enough.
Acha Bacha is being produced in partnership with Theatre Passe Muraille as part of a new initiative between our two companies to share resources and introduce our audiences to the work being done on other stages in Toronto. This show is paired with Kiinalik: These Sharp Tools, a new play by Evalyn Parry and Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory mapping the connections between the Canadian North and South, which will premiere on Buddies stage in October 2017

A tarot reading is a three way collaboration between the cards (they are pretty magical), me (my intuitive sense, my relationship to the cards) and you (your experiences, your questions, your relationship to the cards and the ideas/archetypes they represent). You can tell me nothing, or a little, or a lot about what you have questions about going into a reading, and how you are responding to the cards as we look at them together.
