Beauty in the Brokenness





A project that we got everyone to do was called The Beauty in the Brokenness Project.  During VUP, we are constantly exposed to brokenness all around us so this project is to help us see the beauty in the midst of the brokenness.  As we become aware of the beauty around us, we are then inspired to share it in any form possible.  Some of these include music, songs, poetry/spoken word, art, etc.  This year we invited people from our communities both inside and outside of the DTES to come and experience some of what we were experiencing.  Here are some pictures and links to the videos of the night.
