The HORISON FEST, is an initiative to get all communities and friends together, due to the necessity to communicate to each other, sharing projects, experiences and above all to create a space to support each other.
Our idea is to defeat individualism; competition and all those values that are driving our world to individualistic depression. That is why, it is so important that through art, music, social/political dialogue and the creativity of the community needing a space of communication and reflection to build a world without capitalism, colonialism, patriarchalism and the domestication of our consciences. This is the challenge !!! , would you join us !?
