As part of the Hop Festival, the Joan Antoni Samaranch Olympic and Sports Museum hosts the presentation of the book Barcelona Breaking. Origen y trayectoria de una cultura urbana, by Carlos Peña and Livia Motterle.
Through a collaborative ethnographic work, the book traces the history of breaking in Catalonia from the 1980s to the present and explores the evolution of this urban culture: from the streets and meeting spaces to international recognition and its inclusion in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The book gives a voice to the people who have helped build and keep this culture alive, and reflects on identity, the sense of community, the use of public space, and the role of women in the breaking scene.
An opportunity to discover the origins and trajectory of this cultural expression and to meet first-hand the people who have documented its history.
📅Fecha y hora: Saturday 14 November at 18:00.
