FWMF Member Meeting Montpellier

The FWMF had a wonderful Member Meeting in Montpellier. 

On 10 - 11 - 12 September the FWMF members held a meeting during Arabesques. 

We talked, inspired and laughed a lot. After al those months it was wonderful to finally meet again!

Special thanks to Festival Arabesques for making this possible!

Since 2006 the association UNi’SONS organises Arabesques festival.
It is the most important festival dedicated to the arts of the Arab world in Europe. The festival offers a multidisciplinary program to promote the culture of the Arab world, from its traditional artistic expressions to its contemporary forms. Arabesques has become an unmissable event where both emerging artists and “living legends” meet.
