A Cultural Creative Experience بين
Join us for a first of its kind two day MENA-specific event that dives into inspiring conversations, showcases artists, and supports businesses from our community. The event is dedicated to inviting others to experience our culture while also creating a space to inspire and connect our community. We will be curating art, music, conversations, and experiences. A portion of proceeds will be donated to PCRF, and we're honored to have Slow Factory as our official Media & Culture nonprofit partner.
