CANCELED
We have made the decision to cancel the event as well as Sophie Labelle's visit to Montpellier.
We learned that Sophie Labelle had done something serious, we put a link to an explanation in the comments of the publication of the announcement of the cancellation with the corresponding warning triggers, we will not go into details so as not to be too trigger.
Although we could have maintained the events without her presence, since other artists were scheduled for the round tables and the exhibition, we need time to reorganize and we don't want to have anything to do with her.
We'll do another event later, with the same panels and exhibition and with the same guests without her.
We apologize, both for the cancellation, and especially for inviting her without doing enough research. We are also sorry to confront you with this heavy subject.
The new event will have another name so as not to be associated with it and will be in several months, but we will put a link here, as we think it may be of interest to you since it will be on the same subject.
