Poi Con – How it was by Igor Romanchuk

 

 

PoiCon 2019 - How it was?

The start of the new year was marked by an annual big event in the world of flow art held in Moscow – POICON-2019. With each year this flow art festival gains its power, becomes more popular, with more and more enthusiasts willing to get there. No surprising, that they have to sign up for the event long before it starts. This time was record-breaking by foreign guests, who came here from different countries such as France, Israel, Belgium, Norway, the USA, Slovakia and others. Of course, many participants came from former Soviet republics and different regions of our vast country.
