What kind of festival fits a vibrant city like San Miguel de Allende? That’s the question we were asking ourselves when we began. We threw around words like, “international, artistic, and community.” We talked of ideas like chaos, journey, and transformation. One thing was certain. We wanted to create a festival that could change you, or at the very least offer an experience you would never forget.
What we created was a festival that brings together an international lineup of presenters and offers sessions in various artistic disciplines such as painting, acting, dance, and writing with the goal of “telling a narrative through art.”
