PANDAwomen helped us find a new direction, becoming both a symbol and a driving force behind our renewal. In fact, this festival marked the first event of Panda’s revival back in 2018. Since then, every autumn has been dedicated to women’s music from nineteen countries. The events of recent years have compelled us to dedicate the festival to women musicians who have been forced to flee persecution, war, and terror. It’s our way of supporting artists who have lost not only their homeland but also their audience, their stage, and often the ability to speak in a language their listeners can understand.
