Brownstar Revolution presents one of the largest annual arts activism events in NYC- UNIFICATION 2013.

Asia Society blog said of UNIFICATION 2012 that "Unification sets a new trend for cultural programming, in that it contends for South Asian culture rather than adopting relatively nascent national ideologies."
