Barcelona 2004 is a multi-cultural event planned
for the whole world to attend and learn. The Universal Forum of Cultures
is not only a conference, but a celebration of cultures and diversity
from around the world. The event will run from May 9 to 26 September,
2004.
The ceremony begins with the appearance of 12 structures in the waters
of the future Sant Adrià Marina in Besòs. The steel platforms
come together in the middle of the waters, forming a sphere that will
be 28 meters in diameter and create a symbolic world of conflict. Images
reflecting the problems of the world will be projected onto the sphere:
hunger, contamination, wars...
The ceremonies will be reprised every afternoon throughout the 141 days of Forum Barcelona 2004. The start time will vary according to the amount of sunlight...
