You must live in Barcelona for...
by Poldavo
You must live in Barcelona for some months. Barcelona is an arquitechtonical wonder, but its daylife is better! Don't forget the old harbor and the Marina, Tibidabo Panoramical Tower, Sagrada Familia Church, Picasso and Miro Museums, The 'Rambla' famous boulevard and the Passeig de Gracia Avenue, the shops, the Gothic District (Medieval). At night, get out at Aribau and Balmes streets (many discos and bars), at 'Port Olimpic' mini-discos, at Teatre Nacional de Catalunya (National Catalonian Theatre), at Teatre Grec (Greek Theatre), at hundred of cinemas, shows, nightlife places, etc... the night not stop until the next morning! It's my city. I travel very much, and I love more and more my city at time that I see more 'world'. But It's a subjective impression.

Walk along LAS RAMBLAS towards Port Vell. This is where everything is happening & very busy during the weekends. All kinds of stalls are here: newsstands, flower stalls (pictured), tarot readers, caged bird & cafes! Very interesting!

DONT FORGET Sarajevo, 10 years after the siege
From November 1993 to March 1994, and later, in January 1995, a group of film-makers daily filmed two minutes in the lives of citizens under siege in a street in Sarajevo. These images, presented together for the first time, show the everyday experience of a war and the instinct for survival. In the form of the installation, every day presents a month of the siege, and the programme therefore changes daily.
The exhibition also includes the work of five photographers who turned the act of chronicling the siege into a manifesto of life and art: Gervasio Sánchez, Enric Martí, Santiago Lyon, Danilo Krstanovic and Damir Sagolj (some nationals, others foreign) show the bravery and independence of this testimony.
And, as a chronicle of contemporary reality, we can attend the trial of Slobodan Milosevic for crimes against humanity, a vital event in the history of Europe which was scandalously hushed up, once again announcing the dangers of forgetting and indifference.
