| | | | Seasonal Events: CCCB Exhibitions | Tip Rating: | | | | |
Barcelona Contemporany Culture Centre located closer to MACBA (other museum) offers regular exhibitions about everything ... hte most interesting i ve seen were about Borges, city of Fez in Morocco and obviously this one below about Sarajevo few timw ago before i went to visit this unfortunate city 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.

| | | | Seasonal Events: 11th September is the... | Tip Rating: | | | | |
11th September is the Commemoration of the fall of Catalonia and particularly Barcelona, on the 11th 1714 September at the hands of the troops of Philip V, with the consequent abolition of all Catalan Institutions of self-government, has become a symbol of catalan nationalism, repressed during Franco's time but held in secret. With the establishment of a democratic government, the 11th September recovered its highly festive character, with public gatherings in the 'Fossar de les Moreres', where the war heroes are buried, and in front of the Rafael de Casanova Monument, who led the troops at the time of their defeat. It is customary to hang the 'senyera', the Catalan flag, from the balconies of every house. If you come any 11th September you'll see red & yellow flags everywhere. Leave a Comment
