Details
The English word for fan comes from the Latin word "vannis", which was a tool for tossing grain. Those who lived thousands of years ago use fans for practical reasons.
In the courts of Egypt, fans were used in religious ceremonies. These were seen as official symbols and often displayed in tomb paintings and low-relief carvings. Fans were also seen in the Middle East.
We can talk about the different types of fans - the use of fans, the design of fans, even the word fan - in different languages and culture in the performing arts.
No, the event fee does not cover snacks and tea.
