The spiritual homeland of characters including Ibn Arabi and Ibn Khaldun, its streets preserve the memory of some of the greatest thinkers and creatives in history. At the core of al-andalus, it represents a bridge between the Islamic World and Europe that was the opening to the sciences and arts as we know them. Today, its heart is still beating.The International Artists’ Gathering seeks to exchange knowledge between local and international arts organisations for the development of a sacred arts programme in Fez which preserves and represents its unique spirit.
