 Fez Festival of Sufi Culture to be held in April
Fez - The third Fez Festival of Sufi Culture will be held April 18-25, with the participation of artists and men of letters from around the globe.
The festival program will take visitors into an amazing journey through the culture of Sufism, its essence and practices and will provide opportunity to get acquainted with the scholars of this Islamic mystical movement.
The festival features several cultural, religious and political discussion panels that will focus on how to incorporate spirituality in a world marked by globalization, the event organizers said at a press briefing in Fez.
Whether in Africa, Asia or Europe, Sufis songs, art and literature convey the same message: self-centredness must be transcended in order to experience the ultimate and universal meaning of love and compassion, said president of the festival, Faouzi Skali, during the briefing.
Several icons of Sufi music such as Sabah Fakhri, Mohamed Tarwat and Saad Tamsamani are expected at the festival.
Conferences on “Ibn Al Arabi Manuscripts” and workshops on various topics are also on the program.
The second Sufi culture festival had attracted over 16,000 people from 15 countries.
