ABOUT US
Mission Statement
The access to medical treatment when needed is a universal human right. However, many across the globe are denied the treatment they need due to various issues, such as race, gender, and religious discrimination.
In our current world, differences are highlighted more than similarities. We aim to promote harmony by conversing through the universal language of music.
We create artistic fusions of different cultures to promote the concept of unity co-existing amid our cultural differences. By doing so, we hope to both inspire this sense of oneness while also raising increasing awareness of different forms of art.
What Do We Do?
We give artists of all forms of art a platform to collaborate with others to create a fusion piece combining both of their cultures and forms of art.
We then feature these pieces on our website, social media, and live-events to raise money for different humanity-based organizations.
