Programme 2017

The journey of the Travellers extends from India to Europe and North Africa. Over the centuries, these populations developped their own art, with numerous influences, which influenced the folklore of the populations living in the regions they crossed. This "Gipsy" heritage will be presented by artists from India, Serbia, Hungary, Spain, Egypt and Slovakia.
