Festival Vision Festival creator and organiser, Keti Sharif produced the first Sphinx Festival in Egypt to intergrate the esoteric wisdom of Egypt with today's evolving Egyptian arts, music and dance styles. The aim was to present a new learning experience with great opportunities for cross-cultural interaction between participants and speakers, and to form a concept that inspires participants to explore the links between ancient and modern concepts in the arts, that are ultimately universal. |
