20 years means seeing all the hours of the day with all the lights and all the shadows and all the beauty that each one treasures. 20 years means moving from naivety to maturity and from gratuitous rebellion to rebellion that is felt and argued.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Etnia Barcelona<\/strong> was born in 2001, the result of the rebelliousness of a guy who defied the laws of the world and asked himself Why not? Why not? This has been a recurring question throughout these 20 years… To paraphrase Kipling<\/strong>, it can be said that they have filled relentless minutes with sixty seconds of fierce fighting; they have tried to face triumph and defeat alike; and they have tried to keep their simplicity even when marching with kings…. But, above all, they have been guarantors of that feeling that carries intrinsically the brand engraved in their DNA; Euphoria<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Some time ago they came across Duchamp<\/strong>‘s phrase: “It’s a sort of constant euphoria”<\/strong> <\/em>and they identified with it. Since then, the word has accompanied them, described them and echoed on the walls of their consciousness in the form of a word or written word. Without this “euphoria”<\/strong> they would not have chosen colour or art as their banner; they would not have travelled to Japan or Africa; nor would they have hitched themselves to a rubbish truck to drive around Manhattan at night. For them, euphoria is passion taken to the extreme; joy; speed; challenge and utopia; the illusion of creating in a group and the sense of belonging to a tribe.<\/p>\n

Rarely have they looked in the rear-view mirror and rarely have they analysed their history in retrospect, but today it was their turn to do so. And they do it in their own way. With pieces of images that for them make up 20 years lived in a second. Snippets of a visual diary that may remain forever in their memory atrophied by the desire to live the future, the future we imagine?<\/p>\n

Life is lived forwards, but it can only be understood by looking backwards.<\/strong><\/p>\n
