A meeting for all WOMEXicans dreaming of making the world a better place with music, be it by showcasing foreign cultures and celebrating diversity through music or – more directly – by promoting change projects to music communities, one example being the many refugee related projects these days. Are those two completely different things? Where does art end and where do politics begin?
