EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo from the 1960s captures a moment of cultural celebration in Barcelona's Ciutadella Park. The image showcases the traditional dance of Catalonia, known as Sardana, which holds deep historical significance for this region of Spain. Amidst the backdrop of Francoism, when cultural expressions were suppressed, this lively dance served as an act of resistance and preservation. The dancers are seen forming a circle, holding hands and raising their arms gracefully to the music that fills the park. Their synchronized movements exude joy and unity, reflecting the spirit of Catalan identity. The park itself provides a picturesque setting with its lush greenery and architectural wonders. Photographer Santiago Ortega skillfully captures this timeless moment in history, freezing it forever within his lens. Although we do not know who exactly is depicted in this photograph or how they may have been personally affected by Franco's regime, their determination to keep their traditions alive shines through. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Catalonia's rich heritage and resilience against oppressive forces. It invites us to appreciate the beauty found within tradition while acknowledging the struggles faced by those who fought to preserve it.
